Description
The Shipdham War Memorial is a First World War memorial that includes later additions for the Second World War. It is made of grey Devonshire granite sourced from Dartmoor and is situated in the churchyard of the Grade I listed All Saints Church. The memorial features a rough-hewn Celtic wheel head cross on a slightly tapering shaft, which rests on a three-tiered octagonal base that displays the inscriptions. The cross head is adorned with carved strapwork and the Crown of Victory at its center. Surrounding the memorial are eight low granite posts.
The inscription is presented in black-painted relief lettering and reads: "THEIR NAME/ LIVETH FOR/ EVERMORE/ IN GRATEFUL MEMORY OF/ THE MEN OF SHIPDHAM/ WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES/ FOR THEIR COUNTRY/ IN THE GREAT WAR/ 1914-1919/ (NAMES)/ TO/ THE FALLEN/ 8TH BOMBER/ COMMAND/ U.S.A.A.F./ 1939-1945/ (NAMES)."
