Keinton Mandeville War Memorial

The Keinton Mandeville War Memorial is located in the churchyard of the Church of St Mary in Keinton Mandeville. It honors the men from the parish who died while serving their country during the First World War and later, those who lost their lives in the Second World War.

The memorial is made of stone and features a simple Latin cross with a square shaft, which stands on a tapered plinth with a square base. The west face of the cross is adorned with a carved laurel wreath at the top, and below it, in leaded lettering, are the words HOC VINCES, which is short for 'In hoc signo vinces', meaning 'In this sign thou shalt conquer'. At the base of the shaft, it reads: IN GRATEFUL MEMORY OF THE KEINTON MEN WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES IN THE GREAT WAR 1914-1918. The west face of the plinth lists the fourteen names of the fallen in leaded lettering, while the adjacent south face of the plinth indicates '1939-1945' along with two additional names.
