Description
The Kemerton War Memorial stands in the High Street, at a road junction in the village centre, near the Grade II-listed Lindum House and Adjoining Shop. Constructed in the 1920s, the memorial is built from peagrit-texture limestone quarried from Box (Minchinhampton) and Leckhampton. It is in the form of a tall Latin cross, with an octagonal cross shaft and small cusps in the angled corners of the cross head. The moulded foot of the cross shaft sits on an octagonal plinth with a shallow circular head, raised on a three-stepped base. An inscription, "GREATER LOVE HATH NO MAN THAN THIS 1914 + 1919," is carved in relief around the circular head of the plinth. The names of those commemorated from the First World War are recorded on the faces of the plinth, alongside the dedication "IN PROUD AND GRATEFUL/ MEMORY OF THOSE WHO/ GAVE THEIR LIVES IN THE/ WAR OF 1939-1945" and the names of those who died in the Second World War.
