Description
The Covenham St Bartholomew War Memorial is a granite structure crafted by Mawer Bros of Louth and was unveiled in 1920. It is dedicated to members of the local community who served and lost their lives in the First World War, and later the Second World War.
The memorial features a Celtic cross with a raised knotwork design on both the cross head and shaft, standing on a tapered rough-hewn plinth. The west side of the plinth has a painted inscription that reads: 'SACRED TO THE MEMORY / OF / (5 NAMES) / OF COVENHAM ST BART’S, / WHO FELL IN THE GREAT WAR, / 1914-1919. / “GREATER LOVE HATH NO MAN / THAN THIS.”' The north and south sides of the plinth display the inscribed and painted names of 18 residents from the village who served in the First World War. Additionally, a smooth granite slab was added later at the foot of the west elevation, which bears the inscription: 'ALSO / 1914 -1918 / (2 NAMES) / 1939 -1945 / (2 NAMES)'. The memorial is set on a square-plan concrete base and is surrounded by a stone kerb with a metal post and rail dwarf fence. It is located within the churchyard of the Church of St Bartholomew, which is listed at Grade II*.
