Tittensor war memorial obelisk stands on Winghouse Lane at the junction of the A34 and Monument Lane. The stone Cenotaph stands on a two stepped base. A carved wreath is found on one face with inscriptions also carved into the memorial. The memorial is for the Fallen of both World Wars.
In 2003 a conservation project received a grant of £150.00 from War Memorials Trust. There was concern that the Yorkstone paving on which the memorial stood was broken, uneven and a hazard to pedestrians. It seemed appropriate to also clean and re-point the memorial whilst surrounding work was taking place and the Small Grants Scheme was able to assist.
The inscriptions on the memorial include:
To the Glory of God
and in memory of the
brave Men from this
Church & Parish who
fell in the Great War
In grateful
memory of
those from the
Parish of Tittensor
who gave their
lives in the Second
World War
