Details MATERIALS: Granite memorial cross. DESCRIPTION: Chittlehampton War Memorial stands in the churchyard of the Church of St Hieritha (Grade I-listed), in close proximity to the Lych Gate and a number of churchyard monuments (all Grade II-listed) and a listed and scheduled churchyard cross. The war memorial consists of a tall granite wheel-head cross on a slender tapering shaft. The cross head is decorated with interlace patterns carved in low relief. The cross rises from a three-stepped octagonal base. The inscriptions on the memorial are in raised lettering, located on the three steps of the base. The principal dedication to the front face of the middle step reads TO THE GLORY OF GOD AND/ IN HONOURED MEMORY/ OF THOSE FROM THIS PARISH/ WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES/ IN THE GREAT WAR 1914 – 1919. On the step below this is + LEST WE FORGET +. The First World War names are listed on faces of the middle step, whilst the later Second World War dedication and names are recorded on the top step.
