Combined War Memorial, Earl Stonham Church Yard, off the A1120, Suffolk. IP14 5EE. - World War I Memorials and Monuments on Waymarking.com

The combined War Memorial just off the road in the churchyard of St.Mary, Earl Stonham is fairly small, consisting of a slender octagonal column surmounted by a cross presenting as a mixture of Celtic and Botonnee. It's mounted on a three-step plinth on a large square base in a gravelled area surrounded by a post and chain fence.

The dedication and WWI names are on the road-facing three sides of the lower two steps of the plinth and read:

                                 TO THE GLORY OF GOD
                      AND IN MEMORY OF THE MEN OF EARL STONHAM
                        WHO FELL IN THE GREAT WAR 1914 - 1918

         Wilfred S.Chaplin         Charles Hubbard             Henry Crowe
         Harold Eric  Gray          William Brett            Adolphus Kitson
          Nathaniel Ringe          Oliver J.Soames          Frederick J. Last
          Stanley Wilding            Walter Peck              Alfred W.Rush
            Samuel Keen              John Diaper             Manley F.Ashwin
     So They Passed Over and / Let the Trumpets Sound / For Them on the Other Side

The single WW11 name is on the left-hand, bottom-most step of the octagon reading:

                                   1939  -  1945
                                 Basil Charles West

Apart from the road running past this is a quiet spot, a suitable memorial place for the families who lost loved ones in the two world wars.
