Description

War memorial commemorating the First World War, erected in 1921.

DESCRIPTION: the memorial is of rough-hewn Cornish granite and takes the form of a wheel-head cross with a longsword, blade down, carved in shallow relief on the front, north-east face. The sword has a trefoil to the pommel and at each end of the cross guard. The cross shaft rises from a tapering, four-sided plinth, which stands on a square, single-step base.

The dedication is in leaded lettering set in a smoothed panel on the front face of the plinth. It reads, IN / GRATEFUL MEMORY / OF / THE MEN OF EGREMONT / WHO MADE THE SUPREME SACRIFICE / IN THE GREAT WAR 1914-1918 / ERECTED BY THE PARISHIONERS / MCMXXI / GREATER LOVE HATH NO MAN THAN THIS.
