Built in the style of a Cross of Sacrifice and standing virtually opposite the south door of St. Gregory's church it bears the 238 names of Sudbury's fallen of the Great War, 1914-1918. In addition to the service personnel are five names of civilians killed in a bombing raid by Zeppelin L.14 on 31st March 1916. https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6574841 The smaller plaques on the third step of the base bear 58 names of the men who were killed in the Second World War. A small plaque bearing the name of J R Howard who was killed in Northern Ireland in 1988, is also evident on the rear facet of the memorial.
