Heritage listing
Details First World War memorial,1920, with later additions for the Second World War. DESCRIPTION: Cranbourne War Memorial is located within the churchyard to the north-east of the Grade II-listed Church of St Peter. It stands on a circular area of paving with paths leading up to it. It takes the form of a gabled lantern cross, with pilasters to the corners, surmounted by a cross finial. The lantern has arched openings to all four sides with cusped tracery to the arches and is supported by corbels to each corner. This crowns a tapering, octagonal shaft with inverse chamfer stops to the base. The shaft rises from a square plinth with pilasters to each corner. The whole is atop a three-stepped base. The inscription and names are carried on the plinth in leaded lettering. The dedication is on the south-west face and reads 1914 – 1918/ REMEMBER WITH THANKSGIVING/ THE MEN OF THIS PLACE/ WHO IN THESE YEARS OF WAR/ GAVE THEIR LIVES/ FOR THE WELFARE/ OF THE WHOLE WORLD/ 1939 – 1945/ THEIR NAME LIVETH/ FOR EVERMORE. The names of the dead, along with the regiment they belonged to, are listed on the remaining sides of the plinth under the year they were killed.
