This war memorial consists of a Clipsham stone Latin cross atop of a slim stone shaft, a square plinth and three stepped base. The memorial is located within St Peter and St Paul Churchyard in Honing, Norfolk and is dedicated to the men of the Parish who died whilst serving during World War I.
In 2012 War Memorials Trust offered a grant of £627 towards the cleaning and re-pointing of the war memorial. The cleaning was carried out using a low pressure water cleaner and soft nylon bristle brushes. The joints were then re-pointed using a lime mortar mix and finally the memorial was cleaned using water and soft sponges.
The memorial was unveiled on 3rd October 1919 by the Bishop of Norwich. It was designed and constructed by Messrs Cornish and Gaymer of North Walsham at a total cost of 189 pounds and 18 shillings.
The inscription reads:
To the praise of God
And in grateful memory
Of the men from Honing who
Gave their lives in the war
1914-1919
