Details First World War memorial, 1920, with Second World War additions. DESCRIPTION: Euston War Memorial is located on the village green at the centre of the village. It takes the form of a tall, stone Celtic cross; it has an angular wheel-head with interlaced knot work designs carved in relief to the west face of the cross arms. This surmounts a tapering four-sided shaft, which rises from a tapering, square plinth. The whole stands on a three-stepped, square base. The dedications and names are in leaded lettering to the plinth and base. The main dedication is to an inset panel on the west face of the plinth and reads IN GLORIOUS/ AND NEVER-FADING MEMORY/ OF THE MEN OF THIS PARISH/ WHO SO BRAVELY FOUGHT AND FELL/ FOR THEIR COUNTRY IN THE GREAT WAR/ 1914 – 1919./ (10 NAMES). Directly below, to the west face of the upper-step of the base is the Second World War dedication 1939-1945/ (2 NAMES). The memorial is enclosed by a circular stretch of metal fencing*. * Pursuant to s1 (5A) of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 (‘the Act’) it is declared that these aforementioned features are not of special architectural or historic interest.
