Throckmorton


Worcestershire | Throckmorton | War Memorial

Throckmorton Ordnance Survey reference: SO 982499 War Memorial

This is a stone cross on a square plinth just inside the churchyard. The stone is quite weathered, and has a liberal coating of lichen, but the inscriptions are decipherable. Note that the names on this memorial also appear on Fladbury memorials. There are some differences in spelling of a couple of names between this and the Fladbury memorials, but this, so far as I can tell, is an accurate transcript of the Throckmorton memorial.
