Details First World War memorial, 1923. DESCRIPTION: North Lopham War Memorial is located by the roadside of The Street, North Lopham, Norfolk. It is prominently situated on a grassed verge, once a more open space than since the development of more housing in the immediate area. It is 3.9m high. It consists of a “carved crochet cap” surmounting an eight-sided tapering shaft with an elaborate base section with four protruding triangular sides bearing carved laurel wreaths. It is set upon a square plinth with elaborate moulding to the cornice, on a two-tiered foot. The plinth bears the inscriptions in incised and blacked lettering, which read IN MEMORY OF THE MEN OF NORTH/ LOPHAM WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES/ FOR THEIR COUNTRY/ IN THE GREAT WAR/ 1914 – 1919/ (NAMES)/ "THERE'S SOME CORNER OF A FOREIGN FIELD/ THAT IS FOR EVER ENGLAND"// IN MEMORY OF THE MEN OF NORTH/ LOPHAM WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES/ FOR THEIR COUNTRY/ IN THE WORLD WAR/ 1939 – 1945/ (NAMES)/ GREATER LOVE HATH NO MAN THAN THIS.
