Heritage listing
Details The granite memorial cross stands beside a path in the churchyard of the Church of St Matthew (Grade II*), close to several Grade II-listed churchyard monuments. It comprises a plain rough-hewn Latin cross standing on a tapering rough-hewn plinth, with a two-stepped square base. The principal dedicatory inscription to the front face of the plinth, in applied metal lettering, reads IN/ LOVING MEMORY OF THE BRAVE/ OFFICERS AND MEN OF ROWDE WHO/ FELL IN THE GREAT WAR 1914 – 1919./ (NAMES)/ REMEMBER THE NAMES OF THEM WHO CAME NOT/ HOME FROM THE WAR. The later Second World War inscription, to the right-hand face of the plinth, reads IN/ REMEMBRANCE OF/ THOSE WHO FELL IN THE WAR/ 1939-1945/ (NAMES).
