War Memorial #208 ~ Wimpole and Arrington
The Wimpole and Arrington war memorial stands at the junction between the A1189 and A603 at Wimpole. It takes the form of a granite, Wheel cross on a tapering shaft on a two steeped plinth, a Sword of Sacrifice sites in relief on the face. The inscription is to be found on the front face of the plinth. The whole stands in a low walled surround. There are eighteen names for World War 1 and three for World War 2. The memorial was erected circa 1920 and rededicated in 1947. The paving and low retaining wall were added in 1947 prior to the rededication. The corner junction at which the memorial is situated was once the significant point on the road midway between the villages of Arrington and Wimpole. Many of those recorded on the Memorial were volunteers who enlisted in the infantry battalions of the Suffolk Regiment and who were later killed in action fighting in northern France.
