Combined War Memorial, Church Green, Church Road, Terling, Essex - World War I Memorials and Monuments on Waymarking.com

This is a square section, chamfered marble cross with a relief sword, mounted on two small steps on a chamfered top octagonal plinth carrying the dedication and name panels. The whole is mounted on a two-step base and set within a low post and chain fence. It is some 5m back from the road passing through this small but well spread out Essex village, adjacent to the track leading to the church of All Saints. Originally set up to commemorate the lives of those men from the village who gave their lives in WWI, it has had the names of those lost in WWII added in the, what were, three blank panels to the 'rear' of the plinth. To the right and left of the name plinth are two 'built-in' flower pots.

The dedication panel which faces the road bears the inscription:-

                      To the Honour of the
                        Men of Terling
                      who gave their lives
                      for King and Country
                        in the Great War
                         1914  --  1918.
                    This Monument is erected
                    in proud and Affectionate
