Heritage listing
Details The stone memorial, c3m tall, stands on The Green in the centre of the village. It takes the form of a column, square on plan, standing on a two-stage base. The column’s entablature includes a simple frieze of metopes and triglyphs and a cornice. The column is surmounted by a pyramidal cap. The foot of the memorial is enclosed by a low rail. Each of the column’s faces is carved to form an elongated shield shape, bearing the inscriptions. The principal dedicatory inscription reads ERECTED/ TO THE MEMORY OF/ TUDHOE VILLAGE SOLDIERS/ WHO HAVE MADE THE/ GREAT SACRIFICE/ (NAMES). Two of the lists of names begin TUDHOE VILLAGE/ SOLDIERS AND SAILORS, whilst the final face simply records three names. This List entry has been amended to add sources for War Memorials Online and the War Memorials Register.
