Heritage listing
Details First World War memorial with names added after the Second World War. MATERIALS: stone. PLAN: the memorial is in a prominent location on a green at the B1197 junction with Vicarage Causeway. EXTERIOR: the memorial takes the form of a Celtic stone cross with carved Celtic decoration on the ring, which is mounted atop a plinth, on a three-stepped square base. It is a copy of the cross of St Martin at Iona. On the front of the cross, just above the plinth is the following inscription: TO / THE GLORIOUS / AND UNDYING / MEMORY OF THE / MEN OF HERTFORD HEATH / WHO GAVE THEIR / LIVES FOR / KING AND COUNTRY / IN THE GREAT WAR 1914-1918. The names of the fallen from the First World War are found on all four faces of the plinth, providing their forename and surname. The front face of the top step of the square base is inscribed GREATER LOVE HATH NO MAN THAN THIS; THAT / A MAN LAY DOWN HIS LIFE FOR HIS FRIENDS. Below this on the sides of the second step are the names of those who fell during the Second World War. The concrete platform upon which the memorial is placed is not original and is excluded from the listing.
