Description

Aston Rowant War Memorial is a First World War memorial with later additions, situated in the churchyard of the parish church, just north of the tower of the Grade II*-listed Church of St Peter and St Paul.

The memorial features a tall stone Latin cross that rises from a square plinth with a splayed foot, all resting on a single-step base set on a stone slab. The cross-head is inset at the arms and includes the monogram IHS within a circle, carved in relief at the center. Each face of the plinth has metal plaques with white lettering that display inscriptions and names.

The main inscription is located on the south face and reads: "TO THE GLORY OF GOD/ AND IN MEMORY OF THE/ MEN FROM THIS PARISH/ WHO FELL IN THE GREAT WARS/ 1914 – 1918/ 1939 – 1945/ THEIR NAME LIVETH/ FOR EVERMORE." The names of ten individuals who died in the First World War are listed on the plaques on the east and west faces of the plinth, under the dates 1914-1918. The remaining four casualties are recorded on two plaques attached to the north face of the base.

Additionally, the plaque on the north face of the plinth commemorates five individuals who died in the Second World War, listed under the dates 1939-1945.
