War Memorial #1943 ~ Balsham
Balsham war memorial is to be found in the churchyard of Holy Trinity Church, Balsham and takes the form of a monument with a deep octagonal base surmounted by three octagonal steps, a plinth with a tapered shaft topped with a gabled Crucifix. The memorial is made from limestone and as such weathers badly. There are 24 names listed for World War 1 and 8 for World War 2. The inscription and names are inscribed on the plinth and the steps of the north face. The memorial was constructed in 1919 by the Oxford architect Mr F E Howard. World War II names were added in December 1946. A Roll of Honour Book was also created to accompany the memorial.
