Description
The Upton Grey War Memorial is a First World War memorial designed by G Maile and Son, dedicated in December 1919. Names of those who fell in the Second World War were later added.
The memorial is made of rough hewn Cornish granite with lead lettering and is situated on a grass bank facing Church Street at the southern corner of the churchyard of the Church of St Mary. It stands 2.7 meters tall and features a wheel cross with a crusader's sword in relief on the front face. The tapering shaft is set on a square plinth with a tapered base. The front of the plinth has the inscription: ‘FOR/ KING AND COUNTRY. / IN GRATEFUL MEMORY/ OF THE MEN OF THIS/ PARISH WHO GAVE/ THEIR LIVES IN THE/ GREAT WAR 1914-1918’. The names and ranks of the 15 fallen are inscribed on the sides of the plinth. The tapered front edge of the base includes the inscription ‘AND IN THE/ SECOND WORLD WAR/ 1939-1945’ followed by a single name.
