The war memorial in Knipton in the parish of Belvoir in Melton has been listed, at Grade II.
The memorial takes the form of a cross and was set up after WW1. It subsequently had WW2 casualty names added and appears to have recent replacement WW1 plaques.
Its inscription reads: “TO THE MEMORY OF THE MEN OF / KNIPTON WHO MADE THE SUPREME / SACRIFICE IN THE GREAT WAR / 1914 – 1918 / IN THANKFULNESS TO GOD FOR THE / VICTORY THEIR VALOUR HELPED TO / WIN AND ALSO TO COMMEMORATE / THE PATRIOTISM OF ALL FROM THIS / VILLAGE WHO FOUGHT FOR THEIR / COUNTRY.
