Description
Brafield-on-the-Green War Memorial is located in the churchyard, to the south-west of the tower of St Lawrence Church, which is a Grade II* building. The memorial stands about 3 meters tall and features a plain, grey sandstone Latin cross with a three-stepped foot, set on a slightly tapering square plinth. This plinth is raised on a square base that is elevated on three steps.
On the front, east-facing side of the plinth, there is a stone panel inscribed with the words: "TO THE GLORY OF GOD/ THIS CROSS IS ERECTED IN GRATEFUL/ AND EVERLASTING MEMORY OF ALL/ THOSE FROM THIS PARISH WHO GAVE/ THEIR LIVES FOR KING AND COUNTRY/ IN THE GREAT WAR 1914 - 1919/ (12 NAMES)/ GRANT THEM, O LORD ETERNAL REST." Below this inscription, a small laurel wreath is carved in relief on the base.
On the left side of the plinth, another stone panel bears the inscription: "ALSO TO THOSE WHO IN/ 1939 – 1945/ SERVED AND DIED TO PRESERVE/ OUR GLORIOUS HERITAGE/ (2 NAMES)/ MAY THEY REST IN PEACE."
