Details MATERIALS: Ancaster limestone. DESCRIPTION: the war memorial stands in the churchyard of the Church of the Holy Trinity. It consists of a medieval cross on an octagonal shaft with a carved decorative collar and base. The shaft rises from an octagonal plinth and a three-stepped square base. The plinth is inscribed on three sides with lead lettering and a low relief shield carved at each corner. The four shields have individual low relief texts on them, namely PRO PATRIA, PRO REGE, PRO DEO and PRO RECTO. The First World War inscription reads: TO THE/ GLORY OF GOD/ AND/ IN MEMORY OF THE MEN/ OF MARTIN/ WHO FELL IN THE/ GREAT WAR/ 1914 – 1918/ THEIR NAME LIVETH FOR EVERMORE. A later dedication to the fallen of the Second World War reads: WORLD WAR/ 1939 – 1945/ (NAMES).
