Saxlingham Nethergate War Memorial

Heritage listing

Details War memorial, designed by F W Troup, unveiled in 1921, dedicated to the fallen and survivors of the First World War. The war memorial comprises a square-plan roofed structure incorporating a central market cross, over a tapered stone plinth, red brick base and raised platform. The pyramidal roof has a pin-tile roof covering over an oak frame, and is supported by red brick corner piers. The names of 16 local men who fell during the First World War are displayed on a bronze plaque inlaid on the central stone plinth. The north-east and south-east corner piers bear stone slabs on their outer faces, inscribed with the names of 81 local men who served in and survived the First World War. The east and west elevations of the platform each bear three segmental red brick steps (replaced about 1990). The memorial is prominently located on a triangular green at the junction of The Street, Pitt’s Hill and Church Hill. This List entry has been amended to add the source for War Memorials Online.
