Description
The St Clement's War Memorial is located in the burial ground of St Clement’s Parish Church in Oxford. Made of Portland stone, the memorial stands approximately 4.5 metres high and features a Latin cross atop a tapering octagonal column with a carved collar. This column is set on an octagonal stone pedestal that is intricately carved with broach stops, which in turn rests on a three-stepped octagonal base.
The front side of the pedestal, facing west towards the church, displays an inscription in ornate medieval-style lead lettering. It reads: "TO THE GLORY OF GOD AND IN HONOURED AND GRATEFUL MEMORY OF THE 108 MEN FROM ST CLEMENTS WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES FOR THEIR COUNTRY IN THE GREAT WAR 1914 – 1918." Additionally, a line on the riser of the top step below states: "THEIR NAME LIVETH FOR EVERMORE."
