Details Lonmay war memorial stands in the churchyard, to the west of the parish church at Lonmay (NK06SW0104), and commemorates the dead of both World War I and II. It is a tall, plain octagonal shaft with a cross surmounting it. At the base of the shaft, on a low plinth, is carved a wreath and slightly decorated angles. The cross stands on a solid rectangular base into which the names and inscriptions are carved. The base stands on a three-step plinth, the top one of which bears further inscriptions. The bottom one is of roughly hewn granite. It was unveiled on May 16, 1920. Full transcription of memorial held in AAS Digital Archive.
