Easton On The Hill War Memorials & All Saints Church
Rolls of Honour
This stone, octagonal structure (comprised of four rising base-layers and an elongated stone-cross) is situated at a cross-roads in the centre of the village – placed immediately adjacent to the High Street - which runs at right-angles to Church Street. All Saints Church is situated about half a mile away - up the hill on Church Street. This Memorial pays tribute to the Armed Forces of Great Britain which fought in WWI (1914-1918) and WWII (1939-1945). There are eight sections in two-parts – with each section consisting of an upper stone-engraving (inscription) – and a lower metal-plate containing an embossed inscription – unless otherwise stated.
