Description
The Denford War Memorial is located on the bank of the River Nene, at the edge of the village. It features a limestone base with three steps, topped by a square stone plinth that supports a long cylindrical column and a stone ball, reaching approximately 4 meters in height. The square plinth has slate plaques on three sides. The plaque facing the road is inscribed with the words "TO THE GLORY OF GOD AND/ IN HONOURED MEMORY OF OUR/ FELLOW VILLAGERS WHO FELL/ AND IN DEEP GRATITUDE TO/ THOSE WHO SERVED DURING/ THE GREAT WAR 1914-1919/ ‘GREATER LOVE HATH NO MAN’." The other two plaques list the names of the men from Denford who lost their lives in the First World War. Above the plaques, incised lettering on each face of the plinth reads "COUNTRY/ SACRIFICE/ HONOUR/ ENDURANCE."
The memorial is enclosed within a square area defined by iron railings.
