Description
The Praze-an-Beeble and Crowan War Memorial is a war memorial erected in 1920. It is made of Cornish granite and features black metal lettering.
Situated on the village green to the south side of The Square in Praze-an-Beeble, the memorial consists of a Celtic wheel cross with knotwork carving on the arms, a tapered rectangular shaft, and a three-stepped plinth. It stands on a square platform surrounded by edging stones and iron railings, all set within a recess edged with kerbstones.
The north face of the plinth is inscribed with the words: "IN MEMORY OF THE MEN OF CROWAN,/ WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES FOR THEIR COUNTRY,/ IN THE GREAT WAR 1914 TO 1918./ THIS MONUMENT IS ERECTED IN DEEP GRATITUDE/ BY THE PEOPLE OF CROWAN." Below this inscription are the names of the 23 men from the parish who died in the First World War.
On the east face of the plinth, the inscription reads "GREAT WAR/ 1939 – 1945," along with the names of the 10 men from the parish who died during the Second World War.
