FRECKENHAM
War Memorial
II
A war memorial located within the churchyard of St Andrew, erected 1920, comprising a granite, Celtic cross on a stepped and tapering plinth. The shaft of the cross has light panelling and there is a foliate wreath encircling the arms of the cross. A smaller engraved cross with shell motif is centrally placed. The names of the fallen are inscribed on the plinth. On the East face is the inscription `To the glory of God and in grateful and abiding memory of 17 officers and men of this village of Freckenham who fell in the Great War, 1914-1918 . The names of the dead from WWII are added below and beneath a quote from scripture reads `The righteous live for evermore, their reward is also with the Lord and the care of them is with the most High¿.
SUMMARY OF IMPORTANCE.
The Freckenham village war memorial, erected in 1920, is an important historical and architectural testament to the men from the village who died in the First and Second World Wars. There is a presumption in favour of designating free-standing war memorials as they are an important reminder of nationally and internationally significant events which had a tragic impact on local communities.
