Description
The Huncoat War Memorial is located on elevated ground on the southern side of the Recreation Ground. Standing nearly 5 meters tall, it features a stone Celtic cross raised on a plinth and set on a three-stepped base. The arms of the cross are adorned with an interlace pattern. Surrounding the memorial is a square area of sunken paving. Inscriptions and names are displayed on the plinth and the middle steps. The inscription honoring those lost in the First World War reads: "TO OUR GLORIOUS DEAD/ THIS MEMORIAL WAS ERECTED BY/ PUBLIC SUBSCRIPTION AD 1922/ IN ETERNAL REMEMBRANCE OF/ THE MEN OF HUNCOAT/ WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES FOR/ KING AND COUNTRY/ IN THE GREAT WAR 1914 – 1918/ GREATER LOVE HATH NO MAN THAN THIS."
