Shelton and Hardwick War Memorial

The Shelton and Hardwick War Memorial is a stone memorial cross located in the churchyard of the Church of St Mary, which is a Grade I-listed building. It is prominently positioned by the path leading to the church. The memorial features a substantial canopied Calvary. The cross shaft is octagonal in shape and has a deep, moulded foot that stands on a pedestal. The foot of the cross is adorned with a foliage design carved in low relief within a blind arch on the front face. The pedestal is cruciform in plan and stands on a two-stepped octagonal base.

The pedestal displays inscriptions in incised lettering. The main dedication reads: "TO THE GLORY OF GOD/ AND IN HONOURED MEMORY/ OF THE MEN OF/ SHELTON AND HARDWICK/ WHO SACRIFICED THEIR LIVES IN/ THE GREAT WAR/ 1914 – 1919." The names of those commemorated are listed on two faces of the pedestal, with the phrase "THEIR NAMES LIVETH FOR/ EVERMORE" inscribed on the fourth face.
