Summary
War memorial, unveiled in 1920. Restored and re-dedicated in 2012-3.
Reasons for Designation
The war memorial, on the village green on Main Road, Nether Langwith, is listed at Grade II for the following principal reasons:
* Historic interest: as an eloquent witness to the tragic impact of world events on the local community, and the sacrifice it made in the conflicts of the C20;
* Architectural interest: the memorial is a thoughtfully designed Celtic cross with good carved detailing;
* Group value: for its proximity to the Jug and Glass Inn and Brook House farm, both listed at Grade II.
History
The war memorial, in remembrance of the men of Nether Langwith lost in the First World War, was unveiled on 8 August 1920 by Mrs Warner Turner of Cuckney House and dedicated by the vicar, the Revd J W Smith. The monument was designed and constructed by Lidster & Brammer of Worksop. The monument was restored and re-dedicated in 2012/3. The memorial steps were replaced and a flagstone base and renovated fence were installed around the memorial. A new plaque commemorating the fallen of the Second World War was added.
Details

The memorial, of Roche Abbey stone, comprises a rough-hewn Celtic cross set on a boulder-like plinth, its front face smooth and carrying the names of the men commemorated. An inverted sword of remembrance is carved on the upper part of the cross shaft, while the lower part of the shaft carries the inscription TO THE GLORY OF GOD AND IN HONOURED MEMORY OF (on the north side) and 1914-1918 (on the south side). The plinth stands on a base of large, rough-hewn slabs. The plinth carries inscriptions on the north and south sides - the inscription on the north side gives the 12 names of the men lost, together with 1914-1918, while the inscription on the south side reads ALSO IN HONOURED MEMORY OF (4 names) / 1939-1945.”
