Occold War Memorial was raised at Occold in the burial ground to the south of Church Street and the Church of St Michael (Grade II*-listed, List Entry 1352447). It serves as a permanent testament to the sacrifice made by members of the local community who lost their lives during the First World War. The design for the memorial was derived from the architect Sir Reginald Blomfield’s ‘Cross of Sacrifice’ for the Imperial War Graves Commission. Variations on Blomfield’s design appeared in stone masons catalogues and were chosen for local war memorials across England. It was erected by the stonemasons Messrs Perfitt of Diss and unveiled by Lord Henniker during a memorial ceremony on Sunday 28 November 1920.
