Padstow War Memorial

The Padstow War Memorial is made of rough-hewn granite and features a Celtic cross on a tapering square column, both adorned with a carved Celtic pattern. This column rises from a square plinth that rests on a three-stepped square base. The front face of the column displays the inscription "1914 – 1919," along with a carved wreath in relief.

On the front face of the plinth, the inscription reads: "TO / THE GLORY OF GOD, / IN HONOURED MEMORY OF / THE MEN OF PADSTOW, / WHOSE NAMES ARE RECORDED HEREON / WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES / IN THE GREAT WAR / ALSO / IN GRATEFUL APPRECIATION / OF THE SERVICES / OF THOSE WHO RETURNED." The names of those who served in the First and Second World Wars are inscribed on the other three sides of the plinth. These inscriptions are also carved in relief and painted with black enamel paint.
