Heritage listing
Details MATERIALS: Limestone. DESCRIPTION: The memorial is located in the centre of the village of Cheriton on the village green. It comprises a hooded wheel-head cross set on a square tapering shaft. The whole is set upon a plinth which carries a raised tablet which is inscribed: 1914-1919 / FOR ENGLAND / (NAMES) / FAITHFUL UNTO DEATH. Two of the other sides have the dates 1914 and 1919 in raised carving and another carries two engraved stones which read: O VALIANT HEARTS WHO TO YOUR GLORY CAME / THROUGH DUST OF CONFLICT AND THROUGH BATTLE-FLAME; / TRANQUIL YOU LIE, YOUR KNIGHTLY VIRTUE PROVED. / YOUR MEMORY HALLOWED IN THE LAND YOU LOVED. / SPLENDID YOU PASSED, THE GREAT SURRENDER MADE, / INTO THE LIGHT THAT NEVERMORE SHALL FADE. / DEEP YOUR CONTENTMENT IN THAT BLEST ABODE. / WHO WAIT THE LAST CLEAR TRUMPET-CALL OF GOD. The words of the inscription are from the hymn ‘O Valiant Hearts’ which remembers the fallen of the First World War. Beneath this is a second plaque which reads: 1939-1945 / FOR ENGLAND / (NAMES) / FAITHFUL UNTO DEATH.
