Description
The Dallington War Memorial is an elaborate Weldon stone cross, approximately 6 meters high, located in the south-east corner of the churchyard of the Church of St Mary, which is also listed at Grade II*. The memorial features a three-stepped base made up of two octagonal steps and a square step, topped by a square plinth with angle buttresses. From the plinth rises a square-based pillar that transitions into an octagonal tapering shaft, which includes an integral cross with foliate ends. Surrounding the head of the cross is a laurel wreath.
Each side of the plinth has a recessed gothic panel. The front panel bears the inscription: 'THOSE WHOM THIS/ CROSS COMMEMORATES/ HEARD THE CALL OF/ GOD, KING & COUNTRY./ THEY LEFT ALL THAT/ WAS DEAR TO THEM./ THEY ENDURED HARDNESS,/ FACED DANGER, AND PASSED/ OUT OF THE SIGHT OF MEN/ BY THE PATH OF DUTY/ AND SELF-SACRIFICE./ THEY GAVE THEIR OWN/ LIVES THAT OTHERS/ MIGHT LIVE IN FREEDOM./ LET THOSE WHO COME AFTER/ SEE TO IT THAT THEIR/ NAMES BE NOT FORGOTTEN'. The names of the fallen are listed on two side panels.
