War Memorials: St Margaret’s Church
This First World War memorial is outside St Margaret’s Church in north Oxford, on the corner of Kingston Road and St Margaret’s Road. The cast-iron figure of Jesus was made by Lucy’s Foundry in Jericho.
The text on the bronze plaque on the limestone pillar under the cross reads
JESU MERCY
The three narrow bronze panels curving around the back of the memorial read:
THEY LOVED NOT / THEIR LIVES / UNTO THE DEATH
The bronze panel hidden behind the statue of Christ reads:
FOR KING AND COUNTRY 1914–1918
