Details First World War memorial, erected around 1920, with Second World War additions. DESCRIPTION: Edgefield War Memorial is prominently located on The Green in Norwich Road, Edgefield. It comprises a concrete pillar on a two-stepped square concrete base. The pillar supports a four-sided head made of stone and bearing polished black inscription panels. The head has a cap sculpted to appear tiled, and surmounting this is a Latin cross on a ball. The whole is surrounded by a low kerb. The inscription panels are 2004 additions, replacing the original inscriptions that were carved in relief directly onto the stone but which became weathered and illegible.
