Description
The Escomb War Memorial is a granite structure approximately 4 meters tall, located in the churchyard of the now-demolished St John’s Church. It features a small wheel-head cross with a moulded foot, which is raised on a corniced pedestal. The pedestal is square in shape with a moulded base and is set upon two sandstone steps.
The main dedicatory inscription on the front face of the pedestal reads: "IN HONOUR/ AND/ TO THE MEMORY OF/ THE MEN OF ESCOMB/ WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES/ FOR THEIR COUNTRY/ IN THE GREAT WAR/ 1914 – 1918," with "THEIR NAME LIVETH FOR EVERMORE" inscribed on the base below. The names of those commemorated are recorded on either side of the pedestal.
The memorial is enclosed within a small square area defined by a low stone kerb, which supports an ornamental wrought iron railing.
