Alresford war memorial cross stands in the grounds of the old St Peter’s Church on Church Lane. It is a wheeled cross on a small plinth. The cross and plinth carry an inscription and names of Alresford men who fell during the First and Second World Wars.
In 2004, a grant of £250 was awarded to clean the memorial and re-letter some of the names that had become unreadable.
The inscription on the cross reads:
"To the glory of God
and in honoured
memory of
