Full Description
the memorial is in the form of a fragment of wall, measuring approximately 1.5m in width and 1.6m in height with a depth of 0.3m. The lower half is wider than the stepped upper half which is surmounted by a roughly pedimented cap and iron Celtic cross. Along one of the lower courses is carved ‘These stones were cut in the XIIIth century by the builders of this church’. A bronze plaque set in the upper half is inscribed ‘1914-1918 THESE MEN OF CAUNTON SOUGHT THE GLORY OF ENGLAND. THEY FOUND THE GLORY OF GOD’ followed by their names. (1)
