Description

The Send War Memorial is made of Cornish granite and features a wheel-head cross set on a tapered plinth, which stands on a square base. The total height of the memorial is 2.6 meters.

On the north face of the plinth, there is an inscription in applied metal lettering that reads: "1914-1918 IN MEMORY OF THE MEN OF THIS VILLAGE WHO AT THE CALL OF DUTY GAVE THEIR LIVES FOR THEIR COUNTRY FAITHFUL UNTO DEATH." The names of 21 men who died in the First World War are inscribed on the west, south, and east faces of the plinth.

In front of the base on the north side, a stone plaque set into the ground features a carved wreath and is inscribed with applied metal lettering that states "1939 1945 WE WILL REMEMBER THEM." Flanking the names of the 14 men who died in the Second World War are two vertical panels of laurel leaves in low relief.
