War Memorial
The Godmanchester memorial is in the form of a classical wheel cross made from Stancliffe stone mounted on a square plinth with a three-stepped base; each of the points of the cross has been enriched with a fleur-de-lys. The plinth is inscribed with “To the glory of God and in ever loving memory of the men of Godmanchester who fell in the Great War 1914 – 1919” “And the Great War 1939 – 1945”. The memorial was unveiled on 1st January 1921 by Major-General Pilcher and re-dedicated in 1947.
