Huncoat War Memorial

The war memorial stands on high ground on the southern side of the Recreation Ground. Nearly 5m tall, it is in the form of a stone Celtic cross raised on a plinth and standing on a three-stepped base. The arms of the cross are decorated with an interlace pattern. It is surrounded by a square area of sunken paving. The inscriptions and names are recorded on the plinth and the middle steps. The inscription to 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
