Full Description

Scremby with Grebby war memorial is located in the churchyard of the Church of St Peter and St Paul. The memorial, dedicated in 1921, is a simple Latin cross with a crusader sword, supported by a square die base with two octagonal steps. The memorial was built by Messrs E. Browning and Son of Spilsby to commemorate those who fought in the First World War. {1} This memorial takes the form of a simple Latin stone cross incorporating the reversed sword symbol of sacrifice. It has not been adapted for Second World War commemoration, and therefore retains its original design intent. The cross-shaft, square in section, rises from a square plinth and two-stepped octagonal base. The memorial was unveiled on 3rd April 1921 to commemorate the six local men who died during the First World War. It was built by the monumental masons Messrs E Browning and Sons of Spilsby for a sum of £93, raised by public subscription. For the full description and the legal address of this listed building please refer to the appropriate List of Buildings of Special Architectural or Historic Interest. {2}
