SNETTISHAM WAR MEMORIAL

World War 1 & 2 - Detailed Information
Compiled and Copyright © Transcribed by Carolynn Langley, Researched by Lynda Smith - 2003

The memorial is located on Lynn Road, Kings Lynn. The memorial is a stone, square based, monument upon which sits a wheel cross. The memorial is situated in the middle of the village. There are 44 names for World War 1 and 15 for World War 2. The memorial was refurbished in 2014 as part of the World War 1 centenary commemorations and re-dedicated by The Right Reverend Jonathan Meyrick, Bishop of Lynn on Monday 7 July 2014.

The following is part of the text of a booklet prepared for that re-dedication and available from the Parish Council:

"The War Memorial was constructed by Arthur Lincoln of Snettisham, and dedicated in the 1920s. He was the father of the Charles Lincoln who is named on the Memorial and his great-great-great grandchildren Freya and Theo are taking part in today’s ceremony. Some three years ago it was decided that the War Memorial was in need of considerable work to restore it to its original condition. The panels were eroding and the names becoming illegible. The imminent centenary of the outbreak of the Great War was an additional incentive. The panels with the names of the fallen of both World Wars and the dedications have been replaced in Nabrizina marble. Additionally, the base, made of local carrstone, had worn away to such an extent that it was putting the stability of the Memorial, made of Portland Memorial Stone, at risk. This has now been replaced. Finally the whole area has been improved by the painting of the railings around the Memorial and the crossing. The Council wishes to thank the following for their generosity: Frimstone Ltd for the donation of the stone, Ridgeon’s for transport and materials, and the craftsmen Jeff Milner, Aaron Rate and Paul Ames for their work on the stone base. The renovation of the panels was contracted to M.B. Howell. We should also to thank James Lees and Peter Everingham for their kind permission to use their research into the history of those listed on the Memorial. During this research it became apparent that there were one or modifications which were able to be incorporated in the renovation work. In particular Walter O Smith had been left off the Memorial completely, apparently on the insistence of his parents who refused to accept that he had been killed. His name appears on the memorial at Feuchy in France, and he now is rightly listed in Snettisham; ironically, this only became apparent after the panels had been engraved – hence his name, even now, is listed out of order! His name is also, therefore, the only one to be engraved by hand."
