War Memorial 19.5 metres south west of St Mary's Church
GV
II
War memorial. 1921. Designed by William Douglas Caroë(1857-1938), executed by DJ Kemp of Alton. Doulting stone.
DESCRIPTION: Tall tapering octagonal shaft with moulded base and wheel-head cross with floriated ends. The shaft rests on an octagonal pedestal with a moulded base and top, and stands on a stepped octagonal base. The pedestal is inscribed: 'To the honoured memory of the men of Selborne who gave their lives for their country 1914-1918', and has three bronze plaques listing the names of the fallen. The memorial is unusual in that it does not carry an additional dedication to the fallen in World War II.
HISTORY: The memorial was unveiled by the Earl of Selborne, and dedicated by the Vicar, the Reverend AE Norman, in March 1921.
SUMMARY OF IMPORTANCE: War memorials have very strong historic and cultural significance, on both a local and national scale. This handsome example was designed by an eminent architect, and also has group value with a number of nearby listed buildings.
SOURCES: The Hampshire Herald & Alton Gazette,Friday April 1, 1921.
