Summary[edit]

Description
English: Grade II listed. Listing number 1421781.

The war memorial, in remembrance of the men of the Clumber estate lost in the First World War, was unveiled on 25 September 1918 by the Duke of Newcastle and dedicated by the Rt Revd Edwyn Hoskyns, the Bishop of Southwell. It was designed by W E Tower, and made by William D Gough, both of London. The names of those who fell in the Second World War were added after it.

Bronze plaques on the plinth, base, and the wall behind are inscribed OF YOUR CHARITY PRAY FOR THE REPOSE OF THE SOULS OF THOSE OUR COUNTRYMEN & ALLIES WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES IN THE GREAT WAR ESPECIALLY REMEMBERING THOSE OF THE CLUMBER ESTATE WHOSE NAMES ARE HERE RECORDED/ (18 names) /AND FOR ALL THOSE WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES IN WORLD WAR II & ESPECIALLY REMEMBERING/ (6 names)/ REST ETERNAL/ GRANT UNTO THEM/ O LORD/ AND LET LIGHT/ PERPETUAL/ SHINE UPON THEM/ AMEN

SUBSIDIARY FEATURE: behind the Calvary is an ashlar screen wall, ramped to the centre and with short flanking walls, all with triangular coping. A low stone kerb defines the front of the memorial ground.
