WW1 Memorial - St.Mary and All Saints' Church, Creake Road, Sculthorpe, Norfolk. NR21 9NJ - World War I Memorials and Monuments on Waymarking.com

The church of St.Mary and All Saints' was almost entirely rebuilt in c.1846 but it retains the original north aisle and the C14th late medieval tower. The Decorated chancel is the work of Richard and James Brandon, with the south aisle by the more famous Thomas Jekyll, indulging himself in his enthusiasm for Early English.

This World War One Memorial to the fallen of the parish is on the west wall of the porch. The porch is immediately under the tower so can be dated to the C14th, one of the oldest parts of the church. The tablet is marble with an inscribed 'knot' border about 1.25m x 0.8m in size.

It reads;

 
                   OF EIGHTY-SIX SCULTHORPE MEN
                          WHO WENT FORTH
                  TO SERVE THEIR KING AND COUNTRY
                   IN THE GREAT WAR  1914 - 1919
                    THESE LAID DOWN THEIR LIVES
