Heritage listing
Details The war memorial is a shrine in the form of a neoclassical archway set into the front wall before Brasted’s village hall of 1910 (not listed), on the north side of the main road through the village close to the turning to Toys Hill. It has Portland stone ashlar columns supporting a broken pediment. Within, set in local Kentish Ragstone, is an elaborate Portland stone plaque, with a crown above and laurel leaf swags draped to the sides. The plaque is inscribed IN HONOURED AND/ GRATEFUL REMEMBRANCE/ OF THE MEN OF BRASTED WHO/ FELL IN THE GREAT WAR 1914 – 1918/ (NAMES)/ 1939-1945 (NAMES)/ FAITHFUL UNTO/ DEATH. Photographs show how the plaque was extended downwards after the Second World War to accommodate the additional inscription. Beneath is a small projecting shelf support by a corbel, and brackets for wreaths. This List entry has been amended to add sources for War Memorials Online and the War Memorials Register.
