Old Leake war memorial was dedicated in 1920 to those who died in the First World War but now also carries the names of the Second World War fallen. The memorial is located in the south-eastern area of the churchyard of the Church of St Mary. It is a 15ft (4.5m) high Clipsham stone memorial featuring a crucifix surmounting an octagonal column. It stands on top of a square plinth and two-stepped base. {1} This memorial takes the form of a well-proportioned Calvary cross in Clipsham stone, designed by noted architect Temple Lushington Moore. The 4.6m high cross stands upon a two-stepped octagonal base from which rises a four-sided pedestal. The cross-shaft is octagonal in section but with a square foot. The top of the cross, rising from a simple moulded collar, is a hooded crucifix with the figure of Christ carved on the eastern face of the memorial. The memorial was unveiled on 18 April 1920, to commemorate 50 men of the parish who had died in the First World War. Following the Second World War a further inscription was added.
