Description
The Stanton under Bardon War Memorial is a war memorial erected in 1953 to honor those who died in the First World War and the Second World War.
It is made of concrete, featuring a stone wall and bronze plaques. The memorial consists of a concrete Latin cross that stands approximately 3 meters high, with a sword of sacrifice in relief at the top of the cross. The cross is mounted on a tapering square-sectioned shaft with a moulded foot, and it rests on a two-tiered polygonal base that would be octagonal if it extended through the rear supporting wall. The plinth displays inscriptions on affixed bronze plaques.
The inscriptions read: "THESE DIED IN WAR/ THAT WE AT PEACE MIGHT LIVE/ THESE GAVE THEIR BEST./ SO WE OUR BEST SHOULD GIVE// NAMES OF THE FALLEN/ 1914 - 1918/ (NAMES)// 1939 - 1945/ (NAMES)."
The memorial is set within a local stone enclosure, which includes a two-stepped platform leading up to the cross.
