Heritage listing
Details First World War memorial, 1922, with Second World War additions. DESCRIPTION: Ogbourne St Andrew War Memorial is located at the centre of a traffic island at the junction of the A346 trunk road and the main road into the village. It is sculpted from rough-hewn granite and takes the form of a tall Latin cross rising from an arched plinth, surmounting a two-stepped base of roughly-coursed sarsen stones. The whole stands on an irregular concrete slab set level with the ground. The main inscription and names are in leaded lettering on a smooth, inset panel to the south-west face of the plinth, TO/ THE MEMORY OF THE/ MEN OF THIS PARISH WHO/ FELL IN THE GREAT WAR/ 1914 – 1918./ (13 NAMES). The names include their rank and regiment. A bronze plaque is affixed to the south-east side of the plinth; it is incised with the dates 1939 - 1945 with the two names (including rank, regiment and date of death) of the two casualties from the Second World War.
