Description
The Harbledown and Rough War Memorial was erected in 1920 in the churchyard southeast of the Church of St Michael. This granite memorial features a rough-hewn wheel-headed cross that rises from a plinth on a two-stepped base. The south face of the plinth is recessed and displays the inscription ‘TO THE GLORY OF GOD/ AND IN UNFADING MEMORY OF/ THE MEN OF HARBLEDOWN/ WHO FELL IN THE GREAT WAR./ 1914 – 1918/ (27 NAMES)’ in black enamelled lettering. Below this, the base of the plinth reads ‘THIS MONUMENT WAS ERECTED BY/ THEIR FELLOW PARISHIONERS’. The east face of the plinth is also recessed and includes the inscription 1939 – 1945 along with the names of those who fell in the Second World War.
The memorial is situated on a tarred and shingled area in the southwest corner of the churchyard, prominently overlooking Church Hill. It is accessed from the road via a set of brick steps that lead up to a timber and ironwork gate, which bears the inscription ‘GREATER LOVE HATH NO MAN’.
