Munslow War Memorial

The Munslow War Memorial is a granite cross that was erected around 1919. It features an elaborate setting with a raised, circular podium, which is accessible by steps on either side. The semi-circular front extends over the wide pavement, while the curved rear creates a bow in an existing rubble stone wall that backs onto a garden. This bowed wall is topped with a wrought iron fence.

At the center of the circular stage is the memorial itself, which stands on a two-step plinth; the lower step is polygonal and the upper step is square. Above this is a square plinth with chamfered corners, inscribed on its east front with the words: ‘To the Glory of God / and in Grateful memory of / (Names) / OF THIS PARISH WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES / TO SAVE OUR COUNTRY IN THE GREAT WAR / 1914-1918 / THEIR NAME LIVETH FOR EVERMORE.’ The south side bears the inscription ‘1939-1945’ / (Names). The cross finial is positioned above a tall, gently-tapered shaft that has a stepped base with chamfered edges.
