Description
The Lavendon War Memorial is made of Cornish granite and is located at the junction of High Street and Olney Road, near several Grade II-listed buildings and the Grade I-listed Church of St Michael. The memorial features a Celtic wheel head cross atop a tapered pedestal, which stands on two steps. The area around the memorial is paved with crazy paving and is enclosed by eight low granite pyramidal posts that hold spiked chains.
On the front (east) face of the pedestal, the main dedicatory inscription reads: "TO THE UNDYING FAME OF THESE MEN OF LAVENDON WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES FOR KING AND COUNTRY 1914 - 1919 THIS MEMORIAL IS ERECTED (NAMES) 'LEST WE FORGET'." Below this, a small chamfered stone added to the lower step includes an inscription for the years 1939 – 1945 (NAMES). Additionally, there is a similar stone on the south side step that commemorates the death of a soldier in Malaya in 1953.
