Combined War Memorial - Church of St Mary, Raynham Park, East Raynham, Norfolk. NR21 7ER. - World War I Memorials and Monuments on Waymarking.com

The War Memorial in the churchyard of St.Mary's is a slender octagonal shaft on a square base mounted on a three step plinth. It carries a budded latin cross on an orb. The cross is surrounded on three sides by a box hedge and can be found to the south-west of the church towards the fence encircling the churchyard.

The west face of the base carries the names of those who fell in WW1, the dedication and names are inscribed rather feintly, reading:-

                       IN LASTING MEMORY OF
                 Benjamin Boggis   Augustus Neave
                 George Capry      John Neave
                 Albert Fox        Richard -–wne
                 James Graver     Leonard Southgate
                 Henry Green      Bertie Vertigan

                          Arthur Boggis

The south face carries the names of the fallen from WW2 and is much easier read. It reads:-
