Description
The Newport War Memorial is a Grade II listed structure made of sandstone and bronze. It features a plain Latin cross on top of an octagonal pedestal, which displays bronze plaques dedicated to those who fell in the wars. The pedestal is supported by a two-stepped octagonal plinth and a two-stepped octagonal base.
On the front of the memorial, the pedestal plaque is inscribed with a cross and the dedication that reads: "IN HONOURED MEMORY OF THE MEN OF NEWPORT WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES IN THE WARS 1914 – 1918 1939 – 1945 R.I.P." The names of 64 individuals who died in the First World War are listed on two bronze plaques located on either side of the main plaque. Additionally, the names of 24 individuals who died in the Second World War are inscribed on the second plaque.
The memorial is surrounded by a stone-paved octagonal area, which is defined by a low kerb and can be accessed from the church path by two steps.
