Description
The Cogenhoe War Memorial is a large freestone tablet located on the side wall of the former stable block of The Rectory, now known as St Peter’s Institute, on Mill Lane, overlooking a small village green. Standing approximately 4 meters tall, this Classical-style memorial features pilaster buttresses on either side and a convex pediment that includes a plain Latin cross in relief.
In the center, there is a plaque that reads: "HONOUR TO HEROES/ IN EVER GRATEFUL REMEMBRANCE OF/ THE FOLLOWING MEN/ CONNECTED WITH THIS VILLAGE WHO GAVE/ THEIR LIVES IN THE GREAT WAR 1914-1918," followed by the names of 15 individuals. Below this, the inscription states: "TRUE LOVE BY LIFE TRUE LOVE BY DEATH IS TRIED/ LIVE THOU FOR ENGLAND WE FOR ENGLAND DIED." Additionally, the names of four men who lost their lives in the Second World War are listed beneath the plaque. There is also a stone shelf for wreaths, which holds two urns.
