About the memorial: This war memorial includes work by, or attributed to, Eric Gill. War Memorials Trust recognises that Gill is a controversial artist. However, this website records war memorials so any artistic work should be considered as a war memorial. It commemorates those impacted by war, rather than being about the artists, craftspeople or contractors who created it. Links are provided via the Links tab for anyone seeking further information about Gill. The memorial is located on the High Street at the junction with Church Lane. It is made of Portland stone, consisting of a shaft fourteen feet six inches high surmounted by a cross, standing on a base four feet square, on a flight of three steps.The four sides of the shaft are inscribed with the names of 36 men from WW! and on the base a later addition of 8 men from WWII. Below the shaft name panels are four carved panels, these represent St Mary and St Michael (the patron saints of the village church), St George for England and in the fourth a figure of a soldier. The memorial was designed and sculpted by Eric Gill and is listed Grade II*. It was erected in 1921 and was dedicated on Sunday 11th December 1921. Further details of the memorial and the men commemorated can be found on the website of Trumpington Local History Group.
