Description
Cliviger War Memorial is a First World War memorial constructed in 1922. It stands within an enclosed garden beside the western corner of the churchyard of the Church of St John the Divine, near the church lychgate. The Ram Inn is located overlooking the memorial to the southwest.
The memorial is a rough-hewn granite Latin cross with a tapering shaft rising from a plinth on a square base, which itself sits on a concrete platform. Three faces of the plinth are recessed and bear inscriptions in lead lettering. The north face of the plinth commemorates the men of the parish who died in the Great War (1914-1918) and notes the date of erection, September 1922. The names of those who died in that conflict are recorded on the east and west faces. The top of the base bears the inscription 1939 – 1945 on its north side and records the names of seven individuals from the Second World War on all sides of the base. The north face of the base also includes the inscription: THE SHRINE DEDICATED ON TRINITY SUNDAY MAY 30TH 1920/ REMOVED INTO THE CHURCH, along with builders’ details on the west face.
