Description
The Calow War Memorial is a First World War memorial that includes later additions for the Second World War. It is made of sandstone and is situated on a tarmac area in Eastwood Park in Calow, Derbyshire. The memorial features a wheel-headed Celtic cross adorned with a knot work design on its arms, which rises from a tapering square plinth. This plinth is set on a single stepped base. There are two bronze plaques on the memorial. The First World War dedication plaque is on the front face of the plinth and reads, "IN MEMORY OF THOSE FALLEN FROM THIS PARISH/ IN THE GREAT WAR 1914 – 1918/ (NAMES)/ 'GRANT THEM O LORD ETERNAL REST'." The second plaque, located at the base of the shaft, is inscribed, "IN MEMORY/ OF THOSE WHO FELL IN THE WORLD WAR/ 1939 – 1945/ (NAMES)."
