Description
Waverton War Memorial is a Grade II listed structure located in the churchyard of the Church of St Peter, which is also Grade II* listed, and near other Grade II listed churchyard features. This memorial is designed as a Celtic cross and stands approximately 4 meters tall. It has a three-stepped square base that supports a square plinth. Above the plinth is a plain tapering cross shaft topped with a wheel-head cross. The front and back faces of the cross head are decorated with a Celtic interlace pattern carved in low relief.
The main dedicatory inscription on the east face of the plinth reads: "ERECTED BY THE PARISHIONERS OF WAVERTON AND HATTON IN GRATEFUL MEMORY OF THESE MEN WHO DIED FOR THEIR COUNTRY 1914 + 1919" followed by the names of 13 individuals. A later inscription on the west face of the plinth states: "ALSO IN GRATEFUL MEMORY OF THESE MEN WHO DIED FOR THEIR COUNTRY 1939 + 1945" with the names of 2 individuals.
