Cheveley War Memorial

The Cheveley War Memorial is a First World War memorial that has names added after the Second World War. It is made of stone and bronze and is located to the north of the Grade I listed Church of St Mary and the Holy Host of Heaven, at the junction of the High Street and Church Lane.

The memorial is tall and imposing, featuring a Latin budded cross atop an octagonal pillar. This pillar is mounted on an octagonal plinth, which rests on a large two-stepped, square base. The lower step of the base is inscribed with the words "THEIR NAME LIVETH EVERMORE." On the upper step of the plinth, there are four bronze plates with raised lettering. The front face of the memorial includes the dedication: "REMEMBER/ THE CHEVELEY MEN WHO/ GAVE THEIR LIVES FOR THEIR/ COUNTRY IN THE GREAT WAR/ 1914-1919." The other three plates list the names of the fallen, including their forename, surname, battalion, regiment, and date of death. The octagonal plinth also features a matching bronze panel with the dates 1939-1946, along with the names and regiment of the two men who fell in that war. Additionally, there is another engraved plate on the plinth, in black and gold, depicting a soldier resting on his arms, which appears to have been added more recently.
