Description
The Easingwold War Memorial is a First World War memorial that also includes inscriptions for the Second World War. It is made of granite with painted incised inscriptions. The memorial features a gable-topped granite obelisk that stands on a double plinth, which is set on a three-stepped base.
The inscriptions are incised into raised panels on the east and west faces of the obelisk and are painted black. At the top of both raised panels, there is a metal laurel wreath in relief. The inscription on the east face reads "IN PROUD AND LOVING MEMORY," with 57 names listed below by surname and initials. Below this, the plinth is inscribed with "FOR KING AND COUNTRY." and the years "1914 – 1919."
On the west face of the obelisk, there are 12 names listed under the inscription "FOR JUSTICE AND FREEDOM." The plinth below this face is inscribed with the years "1939 – 1945."
