Heritage listing
Details Lyminge War Memorial is located in the churchyard to the south-west of the Church of St Mary and St Ethelburga (Grade I). DESCRIPTION: the memorial takes the form of a roughly-hewn Cornish granite cross pattée on a tapering square chamfered plinth surmounting three granite octagonal steps. The lettering is incised and painted black. The dedication on the plinth reads: TO THE GLORIOUS AND HONOURED/ MEMORY OF THE MEN OF LYMINGE/ WHO FELL IN THE GREAT WAR./ 1914-1918/ "GREATER LOVE HATH NO MAN THAN THIS THAT”/”A MAN LAY DOWN HIS LIFE FOR HIS FRIENDS." The inscription to the casualties of the Second World War is underneath, on the third step of the base: ALSO OF THOSE WHO FELL/ IN THE WORLD WAR/ 1939-1945/ The remaining three faces of the plinth are inscribed with the names of the First World War and the names of those who served during the Second World War were added on the steps.
