Heritage listing
Details First World War memorial with Second World War additions. DESCRIPTION: Axford War Memorial is located at the roadside on a raised bank at the main entrance to St Michael’s churchyard. It is of rough-hewn granite and takes the form of a Latin cross with an inverted Sword of Sacrifice carved in relief to the south face. The cross rises from a tapering, four-sided plinth which carries the inscription and names in leaded lettering on smooth, inset panels. The plinth surmounts a two-stepped base on top of a square brick platform, which is built into the slope of the roadside. The main inscription is to the front (south face) of the plinth and reads, - AXFORD-/ IN REMEMBRANCE/ 1914-18/ TO THEM/ ALL HONOUR AND PEACE. The names of the fallen are recorded in two groups on the sides of the plinth, six names on the east face and seven names on the west face. A further inscription is to the rear (north face) of the plinth and reads, 1939-45/ (NAME).
