Heritage listing
Details The memorial stands outside the Church of St Peter (Grade I-listed) on a triangle of grass at the roadside. The sandstone monument, c2.5m tall, takes the form of a tapering pillar, square on plan. The pillar is surmounted by a pyramidal cap, below which, to the front, is a wreath suspended from a ribbon carved in relief. The principal dedicatory inscription, on the main body of the pillar, reads OUR FALLEN HEROES / 1914 – 1919/ (NAMES). Below this on the base the later inscription continues 1939 – 1945/ (NAMES). One First World War name is recorded to the west face of the memorial, reading WALCOT HARMOOD BANNER, (CAPT). The Memorial stands on a square step and is enclosed by a square fence of round-headed iron railings with a small gate to the north side.
