Description
The Wavendon War Memorial Cross is made of Cornish granite and is located in the churchyard of the Church of St Mary, which is also listed at Grade II*. The cross features a rough-hewn wheel-head design with a bronze sword on the front face. It stands on a tapered pedestal, also rough-hewn, which has been elevated to allow for a block of polished granite to be placed underneath, resting on the original base step.
The main dedicatory inscription on the front face of the pedestal reads "TO THE GLORY OF GOD AND IN MEMORY OF (17 NAMES) WHO FELL IN THE GREAT WAR 1914 - 1918." Below this, a later inscription states "ALSO (8 NAMES) WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES FOR THEIR COUNTRY IN THE WAR 1939 – 1945."
The memorial is surrounded by four low concrete posts that hold spiked chains.
