Description
The memorial stands outside the front wall of the former School House (unlisted), approximately 130m to the north of the Church of St John the Baptist (Grade I-listed) and approximately 75m to the north of Meldon Village Farmhouse (Grade II-listed). It takes the form of a large stone pedestal with a moulded top, standing on a two-stepped circular base. The front of the pedestal is carved in the shape of a shield.
The shield bears the dedicatory inscription, reading ERECTED/ TO/ COMMEMORATE THE VICTORY/ AND/ IN GRATEFUL THANKS/ FOR THE SAFE RETURN/ OF ALL THOSE MEN/ WHO LEFT THE PARISH/ TO SERVE IN/ THE GREAT WAR. The dates 1914 and 1919 are carved to either side of the shield’s base.
