Description

Whitelackington War Memorial is an early 20th-century structure made of Ham stone. The memorial faces north and features a plain obelisk that stands on a square base with three steps. The base supports a rectangular plinth, which has a chamfered base and a cornice. On the north face of the plinth, there is a recessed bronze plaque in a moulded surround, inscribed with "1914 - 1918/ (NAMES)/ 'THEY DIED FOR THEIR COUNTRY'." The south face has an additional bronze plaque, inscribed with "1939 - 1945/ (NAMES)/ 'YE SHALL BE REMEMBERED/ BEFORE THE LORD YOUR GOD'/ NUMBERS, X. 9." The tapering shaft rising from the plinth is decorated on its north face with a bronze laurel wreath. The late 20th-century posts and rail surrounding the memorial are not considered of special architectural or historic interest and are not included in the listing.
