Heritage listing
Details Shepherdswell War Memorial stands at the north-western corner of The Green, making a focal point at the summit of Church Hill. To the south-east, the Church of St Andrew (Grade II-listed) forms the backdrop to the memorial and a number of other listed buildings stand close by around The Green. The memorial comprises a granite wheel-head cross in the Celtic style. A reversed sword carved in relief decorates the front face of the cross, below which, carved and painted black, are the dates 1914/ 1918. The cross shaft rises from a square, tapering, pedestal. On the front face of the pedestal, the principal inscription reads IN HONOURED MEMORY OF/ THE MEN OF SHEPHERDSWELL/ WHO FELL IN THE GREAT WAR/ (20 NAMES). The granite pedestal stands on a concrete base. A tablet fixed to the front of the base bears the Second World War inscription 1939 – 1945/ (14 NAMES).
