Description
The Stow Bedon War Memorial is a First World War memorial, erected around 1920, with additional names added after the Second World War. It is made of stone and features a stone cross with a carved cross fleury on the front, set on a short shaft with a moulded foot. This is positioned atop a slightly tapering plinth, which stands on a three-tiered platform. The plinth includes inscriptions in incised lettering. Very low metal bars are tightly bound around the foot of the memorial to protect the platform.
The inscription reads: "TO THE GLORY OF GOD/ AND IN LOVING & GRATEFUL MEMORY OF/ (NAMES)/ WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES FOR KING AND/ COUNTRY IN THE GREAT WAR/ 1914-1919/ IN SACRED SLEEP THEY LIE/ SAY NOT THAT THE BRAVE DIE/ (NAME) 1939-1945// THE HONOURED RETURNED/ (NAMES)// THE HONOURED RETURNED/ (NAMES)."
