Description
Holbrook War Memorial is a First World War memorial built in 1921, with additions for the Second World War. It is made of rough-hewn Cornish granite and is located prominently on the east side of Church Hill, at the junction with Hyams Lane, just west of the Church of All Saints, which is listed as Grade II*.
The memorial features a plain Celtic wheel-head cross on top of a tall shaft that tapers in rectangular section from a trapezoidal plinth, which stands on a four-stepped base. The entire structure is set on a single-stepped concrete foundation stone.
The main dedicatory inscription is in leaded lettering on the polished west face of the plinth and reads: "TO THE GLORY OF GOD / AND IN MEMORY OF / THE MEN OF HOLBROOK / WHO FELL IN THE GREAT WAR / 1914–1918 / [Names]." On the south face of the plinth, there is a dedication for the Second World War that reads: "1939 - 1945 / [Names]."
