Description
Mount War Memorial in Warleggan, Cornwall, is a community war memorial and enclosure built around 1920.
The memorial features a granite cross surrounded by an enclosure with rubble stone walls on the sides and rear, and iron railings at the front, which includes a central gate flanked by gate-posts. It is positioned facing south-west at the staggered crossroads in the center of the village.
The cross is made of rough-hewn granite and is designed as a Celtic cross with a wheel head, featuring a sword in relief on its south-western face. The shaft is tapered and includes a smooth stone inset panel on its lower body that lists the names of the three Fallen from the parish, along with the inscription FOR KING / AND / COUNTRY / (NAMES) / REST IN PEACE. Below this, the base has a curved top and another smooth inset panel that records the names of those from the parish who served in the armed forces. This panel is accompanied by the wording THIS CROSS IS ERECTED TO THE GLORY OF GOD / AND IN MEMORY OF THE MEN OF THIS PARISH WHO / SERVED IN THE GREAT WAR. 1914 - 1918. The plinth below this inscription projects slightly.
The memorial is surrounded by a small enclosure with a curved rubble stone wall that has a rounded coping course. The road-facing side features three bays with arrow-head railings flanking the gateway. The monument is situated diagonally opposite Mount Methodist Church.
