East Bridgford - St Peter's Church

The memorial, a gritstone cross about fifteen feet high, designed by CE Ponting, is at the eastern corner of the churchyard. The inscription reads, 'To the memory of the fallen in the Great War, 1914-1918. Their name liveth for evermore.' A bronze tablet on the plinth gives the names of those who died, listed by year of death. The memorial was unveiled and dedicated on Sunday, 27 June 1920 by the Archdeacon of Nottingham. A plaque bearing the names of four parishioners who died in the Second World War has been added to the memorial. There is a short history of the memorial in, 'Life in East Bridgford: The Twentieth Century', East Bridgford Local History Group, published by Technical Print Services Ltd, 2003 (ISBN 0 9539546 1 7)
