Description
The Bitteswell War Memorial is a First World War memorial built around 1920. It is situated on the churchyard wall of the Grade II*-listed Church of St Mary, next to a path leading to the church. The memorial features a moulded sandstone surround with stepped and pedimented coping, along with a moulded cornice that has a central relief-carved laurel wreath below. Inside the surround is an incised Portland stone tablet mounted on a slate panel. The memorial stands on a moulded base with flanking supports.
The inscription is in incised lettering and reads: "TO THE GLORY OF GOD & IN IMPERISHABLE MEMORY OF / THE MEN OF THIS PARISH WHO FELL IN THE GREAT WAR / 1914 - 1919," followed by the names of 18 individuals who fell. At the bottom of the tablet, it is incised with "R.I.P. / THEIR NAME LIVETH FOR EVERMORE."
