The
war village memorial is to be found in the churchyard of All Saints
Church, High Road, Hough on the Hill, Lincolnshire and takes the form
of a Calvary Cross mounted on a high shaft mounted on a plinth which
stands atop a further plinth with walled wings on a two-stepped base
all inset into the slope of the churchyard. There are 13 names for
World War 1 and 4 for World War 2. The memorial has become weathered
and some of the inscription is now illegible.
