A closer view of Image The Great War Memorial at Little Irchester stands in a small clearing amongst the trees off London Road. The memorial was unveiled in 1921; a contemporary report in the Wellingborough News http://www.rushdenheritage.co.uk/Villages/Irchester/LtIrchester-warmemorial.html indicates that this was then a more prominent position in the village which has since been somewhat taken over by modern developments such as the A45 road. The memorial, which is of Weldon stone, consists of a pillar surmounted by a cross. It is inscribed: "To the glory of God and the eternal memory of those who gave their lives to save their country and preserve liberty in the Great War, 1914—1918."
