Heritage listing
Details The memorial stands within a small kerbed area on a triangular grass sward in the centre of the village, close to the Medieval Cross in the Garden of Croscote (scheduled, and Grade II-listed) and opposite the Old Malt House (Grade II). The circa 2.9m tall memorial comprises a rough-hewn wheel-head cross on a tall shaft, rectangular in section, rising from a tapering plinth and single-stepped base. It is carved from Cornish granite. The front face of the cross head is ornamented with carved interlace patterns, and a hemispherical boss at the intersection of the cross arms. The principal dedicatory inscription in applied metal lettering on the front face of the plinth reads TO THE GLORY OF GOD/ AND IN THANKFUL AND HONOURED/ MEMORY OF OUR OWN WHO FOUGHT AND/ FELL IN THE GREAT EUROPEAN WAR/ 1914 - 1919/ (12 NAMES)/ “THEIR NAME LIVETH FOR EVERMORE”. The later Second World War dedication, reading 1939 - 1945/ (3 NAMES) is recorded on the right-hand face of the plinth.
