Stoke Bruerne and Shutlanger War Memorial

The Stoke Bruerne and Shutlanger War Memorial is located in the churchyard near the south-west corner of the Grade II*-listed church of St Mary the Virgin. This memorial features a white marble obelisk approximately 2.5 meters high, adorned with a small wreath carved in relief on the front (east) face. The obelisk is mounted on a splayed plinth, which is also made of white marble, and both rest on a square base of white marble. A shallow, chamfered lower base is constructed from red stone.

The memorial includes inscriptions in applied metal lettering on the plinth and base. The north face lists nine names, while the east face reads: "TO THE GLORY OF GOD AND IN MEMORY OF THE BRAVE MEN, WHO FROM STOKE BRUERNE & SHUTLANGER GAVE THEIR LIVES IN THE GREAT WAR 1914-18." The base features the inscription: "GREATER LOVE HATH NO MAN THAN THIS THAT A MAN LAY DOWN HIS LIFE FOR HIS FRIEND." The south face lists ten names, and the west face states: "SACRED TO THE MEMORY OF THE TWO BRAVE MEN FROM SHUTLANGER WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES IN THE SECOND GREAT WAR 1939 - 1945," followed by names. The base also includes the phrase: "AT THE GOING DOWN OF THE SUN AND IN THE MORNING WE WILL REMEMBER THEM."

The memorial is surrounded by a concrete area defined by an elaborate low iron chain, which is suspended from corner and mid-posts.
