Heritage listing
Details First World War memorial, 1921. DESCRIPTION: Denston War Memorial is located on the village green at the centre of the village, and is close to several Grade II-listed buildings, including the Post Office and Stores and Cherry Tree Cottage. It is of limestone and comprises a small wheel-head pointed cross above an elaborately carved collar on a tapering hexagonal shaft. This rises from a hexagonal plinth with sloping cap and moulded foot. The whole stands on a single-stepped, square stone base. The plinth carries the principal inscription and the names in incised lettering. The east face of the plinth reads TO THE/ GLORY OF GOD/ AND IN/ GRATEFUL MEMORY/ OF THE MEN OF THIS PARISH/ WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES/ IN THE/ GREAT WAR/ 1914-1918. The inscription continues on the west face of plinth and reads BUT THE MEN/ WERE VERY GOOD/ UNTO US AND WE/ WERE NOT HURT/ THEY WERE A WALL/ UNTO US BOTH BY/ NIGHT AND DAY. The names of the 11 men who died during the First World War are inscribed on the four other faces of the plinth.
