Description
The Canon Pyon War Memorial is a First World War memorial that includes later additions for the Second World War. It is located in a small hedged memorial garden at the junction of the A4110 and Kings Road, near The Cottage and its associated barn, both of which are listed as Grade II.
The memorial features a plain Latin cross atop a tapering octagonal shaft, which is set on a substantial square plinth and a three-stepped octagonal base.
The main inscription, carved in incised lettering on the plinth, reads on the north-east face: "ERECTED TO THE MEMORY OF THE MEN OF CANON PYON WHO FELL IN THE GREAT WAR 1914–1919." The north-west face lists seven names, while the south-west face lists three names, and the inscription on this face concludes with "IN THE HAND OF GOD NO TORMENT SHALL TOUCH THEM." The south-east face lists seven names.
An additional inscription on the upper step includes the dates 1939–1945 on the north-east face, along with one name; the north-west face lists two names; and the south-east face also lists two names.
