The
Grainthorpe memorial stands at the junction of Wragholme Road and High
Street. It takes the form of a Celtic wheel cross on a tapering plinth
the whole standing on a two-stepped base. There are 18 names for World
War 1 and 4 for World War 2. It was unveiled by Lieutenat-Colonel E
Kyme Cordeaux on 15th May 1921. It cost £160 raised by public
subscription and the masons were Messrs Mawer Brothers. It was refurbished
and re-lettered in 1977 to celebrate the Queen's Silver Jubilee. It
was knocked down in December 1992 and restored in November 1993. Only
the World War 1 names are listed here.
