Description
The Litchborough War Memorial is located on a small village green to the west of the church of St Martin, which is listed as Grade II*. This memorial is made of sandstone and stands approximately 7 meters tall. It features a simple Latin cross-head atop a tapering, square-sectioned shaft, which is set on a square plinth. The plinth has panels made of a redder sandstone that display inscriptions. The main inscription, in raised lettering, reads: "TO KEEP IN MIND/ THOSE WHO FROM THIS PLACE/ GAVE THEIR LIVES FOR THEIR/ COUNTRY AND FOR THE RIGHT/ IN THE GREAT WAR 1914-1919." The names of the fallen are recorded on two sides of the plinth. The plinth itself is supported by a four-stage octagonal base.
Access to the memorial is via a modern sandstone path, and it is surrounded by a post and chain link fence. It is noted that the modern path and fence are not considered to have special architectural or historic interest.
