Description
Lowfield Heath War Memorial is a First World War memorial with additions for the Second World War, located in the north-west corner of the churchyard of the Church of St Michael and All Angels, which is also listed at Grade II*.
The memorial is made of rough-hewn granite and features a tall, wheel-head cross that rises from a tapering square plinth, which is set on a single-stepped base. The plinth has inscriptions and names in leaded lettering on smooth inset panels.
The main dedication is on a large panel on the east face, stating, "IN PROUD AND LOVING MEMORY OF/ THE MEN FROM THIS DISTRICT/ WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES IN THEIR/ COUNTRY’S SERVICE DURING THE GREAT WAR/ FROM 1914 TO 1918." This panel lists 24 names. The remaining 13 names of First World War casualties are displayed on smaller panels on the north and south faces of the plinth.
The dedication for the Second World War is located on the west face of the plinth and reads, "1939 – 1945/ (9 NAMES)/ CIVIL DEFENCE, (NAME)."
Additionally, a small metal plaque is embedded in the stone on the south face of the plinth, which reads "BODMIN GRANITE CO/ BODMIN."
