Description
The Calstock Parish War Memorial is a First World War memorial that was unveiled in 1921 and later altered after the Second World War and the Korean War.
It is made of Kit Hill granite and features bronze plaques. The memorial is designed as a roughly-hewn Latin cross with a tapering shaft, set on a tapering base and a square plinth. A bronze plaque is attached to each face of the base. The principal plaque on the west face is inscribed with the words: ‘THANKS BE TO GOD WHICH GIVETH US THE VICTORY / IN GLORIOUS MEMORY OF / THE MEN FROM THE PARISH OF CALSTOCK / WHO FELL IN THE GREAT WAR / 1914 -1918 / GREATER LOVE HATH NO MAN THAN THIS / THAT A MAN LAY DOWN HIS LIFE FOR HIS FRIENDS’. The names of the fallen from the First World War are inscribed on plaques on the other faces.
Following the Second World War, a granite tablet was added to the top of the west side of the base, inscribed with ‘IN MEMORIAM / 1939-1945’ and the names of those who fell in that conflict. A further granite tablet was added to the east side after the Korean War, inscribed ‘IN MEMORIAM / KOREA 1950-53’ along with the name of the individual who fell during that war.
