Walpole St Peter war memorial is located within St Peter’s Churchyard, Church Road, in the village of Walpole St Peter, Norfolk. The sandstone memorial has a four stepped base, with inscriptions in the plinth and the two upper steps, topped by a shaft with a pinnacle of a calvary cross within a stone canopy shelter.
