WOODHALL SPA’S PARISH WAR MEMORIAL
A VILLAGE MEMORIAL CREATED AFTER THE GREAT WAR
The calvary-style Latin cross stands in the former churchyard of St Andrew’s at the junction of Witham Road and Stixwould Road. W H Wood designed it, H Jackson sculpted it and Captain Stafford Vere Hotchkin unveiled it on 18 March 1923.
The original inscription commemorated local First World War dead; nine Second World War names were later added. Historic England lists the memorial at Grade II for its architectural, historic and communal interest.
