Description
The Aston War Memorial is located outside the Church of St Peter, which is a Grade I-listed building, on a triangular patch of grass by the roadside. This sandstone monument is approximately 2.5 meters tall and features a tapering pillar that is square in shape. At the top of the pillar is a pyramidal cap, and on the front, there is a wreath carved in relief, suspended from a ribbon.
The main dedicatory inscription on the pillar reads "OUR FALLEN HEROES / 1914 – 1919 / (NAMES)." Below this, on the base, there is a later inscription that continues with "1939 – 1945 / (NAMES)." One name from the First World War, WALCOT HARMOOD BANNER (CAPT), is recorded on the west face of the memorial.
The memorial is set on a square step and is surrounded by a square fence made of round-headed iron railings, which includes a small gate on the north side.
