Description
The Keymer War Memorial is a Grade II-listed structure located in a grassed area between the road and the churchyard of the Grade II-listed Church of St Cosmas and St Damian. It features a simple rough-hewn granite wheel-head cross that rises from a tapering pedestal. The pedestal is set on a square base made of granite blocks. The inscriptions are crafted in applied metal lettering.
The main dedicatory inscription on the front face of the pedestal reads: "TO THE GLORY OF GOD AND TO THE MEMORY OF THE MEN OF THIS PARISH WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES FOR THEIR COUNTRY IN THE GREAT WAR 1914 – 1919 (NAMES) 'THEIR NAMES LIVETH FOR EVERMORE'." Additional names are listed on two other faces of the pedestal. A raked granite slab added to the base is inscribed with "AND IN THE WORLD WAR 1939 – 1945 (NAMES)."
