Description
First World War memorial, 1920.
DESCRIPTION: Shenton War Memorial is located in a roadside garden area at the corner of Pump Street and Bosworth Road, opposite the Grade II*-listed buildings the Church of St John the Evangelist, Shenton Hall and its Gatehouse.
The memorial is of rough-hewn, grey Cornish granite and takes the form of a tall wheel-head cross rising from a tapering, four-sided plinth. This surmounts a single-stepped concrete base, which has a low semi-circular projection to the south face.
To the south face of the plinth is a smooth, inset panel carrying the inscription and names in incised lettering and reads, TO THE GLORY OF GOD AND THE HONOURED/ MEMORY OF THE MEN OF THIS PARISH/ WHO FELL IN THE GREAT WAR 1914 - 1918/ (7 NAMES)/ THEIR NAME LIVETH FOR EVERMORE. Above the inscription is an incised symbol of a Latin cross.
