About the memorial: The war memorial in the western Lincolnshire village of North Rauceby is an elaborate cross on a pillar, standing on a plinth and a two-stepped base. The cross has elongated cusps in the angles between the arms of the cross and solid foliate carving around the ends of the arms. The pillar has brattishing at the top and moulding at the base. The octagonal plinth is carved with shallow recessed panels topped by blind tracery. Within the recessed panels are inscriptions, apart from one face which has a carved relief of a laurel weath. The memorial is made of local Ancaster stone and stands in the churchyard of St Peter. It commemorates the fallen of both North and South Rauceby.
