War memorial, unveiled 1920.
War memorial, unveiled in 1920, designed and made by Jones and Willis of Birmingham.
The memorial, in white Hollington sandstone, comprises a cross, with the Christ crucified carved in relief. This stands atop an octagonal shaft set on an octagonal plinth. This stands at the head of a three-stepped octagonal base, set on a square lower base. A bronze plaque (a later replacement introduced in place of the original, eroded inscription) on the plinth carries the words: ERECTED TO THE GLORY OF GOD AND IN GRATEFUL MEMORY OF MEN OF NORTH AND SOUTH WHEATLEY WHO LAID DOWN THEIR LIVES FOR KING AND COUNTRY IN THE GREAT EUROPEAN WAR, 1914-1918.
