Description
The Knowbury War Memorial is a churchyard monument dating from around 1920, with additions made after 1945. It consists of a grey granite obelisk set on a stepped plinth, located to the south side of the western doorway of the church, near the tower.
The obelisk has a tapered design with two stages, featuring a broader lower section. A chamfered band marks the transition between these two parts. The upper section is inscribed with the words: ‘ERECTED / IN PROUD AND / LOVING MEMORY / OF THE MEN FROM / THIS PARISH WHO / FELL IN THE GREAT / WAR / 1914 – 1918’. The names of those who fell are engraved on the lower body of the obelisk and on its sides. The upper step of the plinth bears the inscription: ‘FAITHFUL UNTO DEATH FOR KING AND COUNTRY’. Additionally, a separate granite plaque in front of the obelisk lists the names of the fallen from the Second World War.
