Men of St Ippolyts

The men of St Ippolyts war memorial is located within the churchyard of the Grade I listed church of St Ippolyts, Hertfordshire. It is in the form of a rough hewn granite wheel cross sat on a stepped square plinth. Around the base of the memorial is a low stone pillar and chain-link fence. The inscriptions are in lead and painted black, they are located on the base of the memorial and commemorate the fallen from the First and Second World Wars.

In 2018 a grant of £1,000 was awarded through the War Memorials Trust Grants scheme to clean the memorial with water and nylon brushes, repointing of the memorial using lime mortar, repainting the lead lettering with black enamel paint and the removal of sulphation using an ammonium carbonate poultice.

The dedication reads:
‘To the glory of God
and in proud and grateful memory of the
valiant men of this parish who gave their
lives for god and King and country during
the Great War 1914-1919’

and

Also to the glorious memory
of the men of this parish
who fell in the war of
1939-1945
