Heritage listing
Details The stone memorial, c3m tall, stands on The Green in the centre of the village. It takes the form of a column, square on plan, standing on a two-stage base. The column’s entablature includes a simple frieze of metopes and triglyphs and a cornice. The column is surmounted by a pyramidal cap. The foot of the memorial is enclosed by a low rail. Each of the column’s faces is carved to form an elongated shield shape, bearing the inscriptions. The principal dedicatory inscription reads ERECTED/ TO THE MEMORY OF/ TUDHOE VILLAGE SOLDIERS/ WHO HAVE MADE THE/ GREAT SACRIFICE/ (NAMES). Two of the lists of names begin TUDHOE VILLAGE/ SOLDIERS AND SAILORS, whilst the final face simply records three names. This List entry has been amended to add sources for War Memorials Online and the War Memorials Register. These sources were not used in the compilation of this List entry but are added here as a guide for further reading, 23 November 2017.
