Description
The Burpham War Memorial is located in the churchyard of the Church of St Luke, near the entrance on Burpham Lane. It is designed as a rough-hewn granite cross that rises from a tapering plinth, which is set on a low step. The memorial is surrounded by a low kerb that defines a small square area.
At the base of the cross shaft, there are small panels on the front and rear inscribed with the words "TO THE GLORY OF GOD" and the main inscriptions on the plinth. The front inscription reads "IN HONOURED MEMORY OF THE MEN OF THIS PARISH WHO FELL IN THE GREAT WAR 1914 – 18" followed by 18 names. The rear inscription states "IN HONOURED MEMORY OF THE MEN OF THIS PARISH WHO FELL IN THE GREAT WAR 1939 – 45" followed by 11 names.
