Description

Coldmeece War Memorial is located at the roadside, at the junction of Meece Road and Swynnerton Road. It features a stone wheel-head cross designed in the Celtic style, adorned with intricate interlace patterns on the cross shaft. The shaft rises from a plinth that is set on a two-stepped, square base. The inscription on the front face of the plinth reads: "TO THE GLORY OF GOD AND IN GLORIOUS AND GRATEFUL MEMORY OF ALL THOSE WHO FOR KING AND COUNTRY GAVE THEIR LIVES IN THE GREAT WAR THIS MEMORIAL HAS BEEN ERECTED BY THE PARENTS OF ONE WHO FELL IN ACTION AT THE BATTLE OF NEUVE CHAPELLE IN FRANCE ON THE 11TH MARCH 1915."
