Description
The Weston under Penyard War Memorial is a First World War memorial, erected around 1920 and later altered to include additional names following the Second World War.
It is constructed from rough-faced granite and takes the form of a Cross of Sacrifice, featuring a plain Latin cross with a sword incised into the east face. The cross is mounted on a tapering shaft that stands on a slightly tapering square pedestal with a four-stepped base.
The main inscription, in white lettering on a bronze panel attached to the east face of the plinth, reads: "IN HONOUR OF THE MEN FROM THIS PARISH/ WHO LAID DOWN THEIR LIVES IN THE WAR 1914–1918./ (23 NAMES)/ “THEIR NAME LIVETH FOR EVERMORE” ECCLUS. 44.14."
Additionally, there is another inscription in white lettering on a bronze panel attached to the second step of the platform that states: "ALSO IN THE WAR 1939–1945/ (9 NAMES)."
