Description
The Peterstow War Memorial is a First World War memorial that was erected after the First World War and altered following the Second World War. It is made of granite and is located prominently by the roadside on Peterstow Common.
The memorial features a roughly-hewn granite Latin cross with a tapering shaft, which stands on a small square pedestal and a rough stone base. The main inscription is in leaded lettering within a recessed panel on the front (north-east) face of the cross's shaft. It reads: FOR / GOD, KING / AND COUNTRY / 1914–1918, followed by the names of the seven men who fell. The front face of the square plinth is incised in black-painted lettering with the word PETERSTOW.
At the foot of the shaft of the cross, there is a small rectangular granite plaque that bears an additional inscription for 1939–1945 and the name of the one man who fell during the Second World War.
