Description
The Weobley War Memorial, built in 1920, is made of sandstone. It features a plain Latin cross on a tapering octagonal shaft, which is supported by a plinth and a two-stepped square base, all set within an octagonal kerbed area. The memorial stands approximately 4.2 meters high.
On the north face of the plinth, the main inscription is carved in incised lettering and reads: "IN GRATEFUL AND LOVING MEMORY OF THE MEN OF THIS PARISH WHO LAID DOWN THEIR LIVES IN THE GREAT WAR 1914–1919." The north face of the upper step of the base bears the inscription: "THEY SHALL NOT GROW OLD AS WE THAT ARE LEFT GROW OLD/ AGE SHALL NOT WEARY THEM NOR THE YEARS CONDEMN/ AT THE GOING DOWN OF THE SUN AND IN THE MORNING/ WE SHALL REMEMBER THEM." Each of the other faces is inscribed with six names. Additionally, the south face of the upper step of the base states: "ALL FROM THIS PARISH WHO SERVED BETWEEN 1939 – 1945/ BY THE GRACE OF GOD RETURNED SAFELY."
