Description
The Isham War Memorial is a First World War memorial featuring an inscribed limestone tablet set into a niche in the west churchyard wall of the church of St Peter, which is a Grade II* listed building. This niche is positioned in line with and below the church’s west tower and is topped with an arched, moulded limestone cornice. The niche is flanked by ironstone buttresses at either end.
The tablet is divided by a central, stylised, wheel-head cross carved in relief. On the left side of the cross, the inscription in raised lettering reads: "TO THE GLORY OF GOD AND IN MEMORY OF THE BRAVE WHO FELL IN THE GREAT WAR 1914 – 1918." To the right, the names of the fallen are inscribed, followed by "RIP." Two small, plain stone tablets are located on either side of the main inscription. The left tablet is inscribed with "1939 - 1945 (NAMES)," while the right tablet reads "WE WILL REMEMBER THEM."
