Heritage listing
Details The Cornish granite memorial stands at the junction of High Street and Olney Road, adjacent to numerous Grade II-listed buildings and the Grade I-listed Church of St Michael. It comprises a Celtic wheel head cross on a tapered pedestal, standing on two steps: the immediate surrounding area is paved with crazy paving. The whole is enclosed by eight low granite pyramidal posts, carrying spiked chains. The principal dedicatory inscription to the front (east) face of the pedestal reads TO THE UNDYING FAME/ OF THESE MEN OF LAVENDON/ WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES/ FOR KING AND COUNTRY/ 1914 - 1919/ THIS MEMORIAL IS ERECTED/ (NAMES)/ “LEST WE FORGET”. Below, the inscription on a small chamfered stone added to the lower step reads ALSO 1939 – 1945/ (NAMES). A similar stone added to the step on the south side to record death of soldier in Malaya in 1953.
