Description
The Thuxton with Garvestone War Memorial is a First World War memorial, erected around 1919. It is made of granite and is located at the entrance to St Margaret’s Churchyard.
The memorial features a roughly-hewn Latin cross with an incised head and a tapering shaft, which is mounted on a simple square plinth and stands on a raised bed. The finely-hewn shaft and plinth display inscriptions in incised and black-painted lettering. The main inscription reads: "IN THANKFUL COMMEMORATION OF THE PEACE 1919 AND IN GRATEFUL REMEMBRANCE OF THESE OUR BROTHERS OF THUXTON WITH GARVESTON WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES FOR RIGHT AND HONOUR IN THE GREAT WAR 1914 – 1919" followed by the names of those commemorated. The plinth also includes the dates "1939 – 1945" along with the names of five individuals who died in that conflict.
