Chale War Memorial

The Chale War Memorial is a First World War memorial that was unveiled in 1920, with later additions to honor those who served in the Second World War. It is made of Cornish granite and is located within the churchyard of the Grade II* listed Church of St Andrew, approximately 5 meters to the north-east of the church.

Standing around 3.5 meters tall, the memorial features a rough-hewn granite wheel-head cross atop a tapering plinth, which has a two-stepped square base. The front face of the plinth includes a recessed panel with the inscription: "TO THE GLORY OF GOD AND IN GRATEFUL MEMORY OF THE MEN OF THIS PARISH WHO FELL IN THE GREAT WAR 1914-1919" followed by 23 names. The inscription continues with the phrase: "GREATER LOVE HATH NO MAN THAN THIS THAT A MAN LAY DOWN HIS LIFE FOR HIS FRIENDS."

Additionally, a raked granite block set into the upper step of the base bears a later inscription that reads: "ALSO OF THOSE MEN OF CHALE WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES FOR FREEDOM IN THE SECOND WORLD WAR 1939-1945," along with 6 names, including their regiment and rank.
