West Keal war memorial stands in the churchyard of the Church of St Helen. Dedicated to the First World War fallen in 1920, the memorial is a 14ft (4m) high Clipsham stone Calvary cross. It was designed by Sir John Ninian Comper of London. {1} This memorial takes the form of an elegant Clipsham stone Calvary cross, standing upon a two-stepped square base and square, chamfered, plinth from which the slender octagonal cross shaft rises. The cross-head, rising from a corbel-like collar, bears the carved figure of the crucified Christ on the western side, with the Madonna and Child on the reverse. The collar is ornamented on the western and eastern sides with shields bearing monograms. The memorial was designed by Sir John Ninian Comper RA, with sculpture by William Drinkwater Gough, and built by the memorial masons Messrs E Browning and Sons of Spilsby. The memorial was unveiled on 25 November 1920, and commemorates seventeen members of the local community who lost their lives in the First World War. The memorial has, unusually, not been adapted for Second World War commemoration and thus retains its original design intent.
