Bishopswood War Memorial

Bishopswood War Memorial is a First World War memorial built in 1921, with later additions for the Second World War. It is located on the north side of the B4234 at the corner of a field.

The memorial features a sandstone Latin cross set above a carved collar on a chamfered shaft. A carved lozenge is inset in the center of the cross. The shaft rises from a square plinth with chamfered top corners, which sits atop a three-stepped stone base.

On the front (south) face of the plinth, there is an incised inscription commemorating the First World War: "ERECTED/ BY THE PARISHIONERS/ TO THE MEMORY OF/ THE MEN OF THIS PARISH/ WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES/ IN THE WAR 1914 – 1919/ IS IT NOTHING TO YOU/ ALL YE THAT PASS BY." The names of those who died are listed directly below this inscription, incised into the top two steps of the base.

Additionally, a stone plaque bearing the names of those who died in the Second World War is set into a wall below the memorial cross.

The memorial stands on a terraced platform made of roughly-coursed stone, which is enclosed and flanked by roughly-coursed stone walls with flat stone coping. Steps lead up to the memorial from both sides; the steps facing east-west lead up to the lower level, while those facing north-south lead directly to the memorial.
