Details The memorial is located on The Green at the junction of Brick Kiln Lane and The Street. It stands opposite The Hub (unlisted), formerly the site of Huntingfield Village Hall which was a First World War army hut, and in close proximity to Grade II-listed buildings including the Huntingfield Arms. The memorial is made of rough-hewn granite, in the form of a Celtic cross. On the front face of the cross-head and shaft is a reversed sword carved in low relief. The shaft stands on a tapering plinth, which stands on a low concrete base. The front face of the plinth is smooth and carries the dedicatory inscription in leaded lettering, reading IN HONOUR/ OF THE MEN OF HUNTINGFIELD/ WHO DIED FOR US/ 1914 – 1918/ LEST WE FORGET (10 NAMES). The names of those listed on the memorial are recorded in alphabetical order. A dedication on the side of the plinth gives the dates of the Second World War followed by four names, also in alphabetical order.
