Details The memorial stands outside the Church of St Firmin (Grade I-listed), on the southern side of the square off the High Street. The Portland stone memorial comprises a tall Latin cross standing on an octagonal base, raised on three octagonal steps. The area of the cross shaft just below the cross head, and the foot of the cross shaft, are decorated with blind Gothic arcading carved in low relief. White stone tablets have been added to each face of the base. The inscription to the front (north) face reads IN/ PROUD AND AFFECTIONATE/ REMEMBRANCE OF/ THOSE MEN OF NORTH CRAWLEY/ WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES/ FOR THEIR COUNTRY/ IN THE GREAT WAR 1914-1918/ 1939-45 (3 NAMES). A further dedication to the rear face reads SONS OF THIS PEACE LET THIS/ OF YOU BE SAID/ THAT YOU WHO LIVE ARE/ WORTHY OF YOUR DEAD/ THESE GAVE THEIR LIVES THAT/ YOU WHO LIVE MAY REAP/ A RICHER HARVEST ERE/ YOU FALL ASLEEP. The names of those who died in the First World War are listed on the west and east faces.
