Description
The Sandgate War Memorial is made of Cornish granite and features a tall floriated cross with a carved collar atop a square tapering shaft, which is set on an octagonal plinth. This structure rests on a four-stepped base.
The plinth has oval bronze plaques on its sides that display inscriptions. The front plaque reads: 'THIS CROSS WAS ERECTED BY PUBLIC SUBSCRIPTION IN MEMORY OF THOSE INHABITANTS WHO FELL DURING THE GREAT WAR OF 1914-18. IT ALSO MARKS THE SPOT WHERE A BOMB EXPLODED DURING THE GERMAN AIR RAID OF MAY 25TH 1917'. The back of the memorial features another bronze plaque listing the names and regiments of the 46 men commemorated. Additionally, there is a plaque honoring those who fell in the Second World War.
