Week St Mary War Memorial

Week St Mary War Memorial stands in the centre of The Square, in the middle of the village. Of rough-hewn granite, it comprises a Celtic cross set on a square shaft. This is set on a square, tapering, plinth, which rises from a two-stage, square, base. A reversed sword is carved in relief on the front face of the shaft, below which a carved inscription reads FOR/ ENGLAND/ AND/ RIGHT/ 1914-1919.

All other inscriptions are attached in metal lettering, painted black. On the front face of the plinth is added the inscription 1939-1945 (2 NAMES). The front face of the upper stage of the base reads TO THE MEMORY OF THE GALLANT DEAD. The face to the right of this reads THESE ALSO; that to the left, NOBLY. The names of the men who served in the First World War are listed on these three faces.

The memorial stands on a concrete base and is enclosed by a chain suspended from four wooden posts.
