Description

The building is a First World War memorial, likely erected in the 1920s. It is prominently situated in the village, opposite the Grade II-listed Jamaica Inn. The memorial consists of a two-stepped, square base, a tall plinth with a chamfered capping stone, and a tapering shaft rising to a wheel-head cross. The lower part of the shaft is inscribed with the dates 1914-1918. The front (north-west) face of the plinth has the inscription "ERECTED, BY THE, INHABITANTS AND FRIENDS, OF BOLVENTOR, TO THE SACRED MEMORY OF THE FALLEN, AND IN HONOUR, OF ALL THOSE WHO SERVED, FROM THE PARISH, THESE GAVE THEIR LIVES, FOR, KING AND COUNTRY, (NAMES of the Fallen), RIP." The sides of the plinth each carry the inscription "HONOURABLE SERVICE" and record the names of those who served and returned. The memorial stands within a small Remembrance garden, which is bounded by dwarf walls of stone rubble to the sides and rear. Modern post and chain-link fencing is excluded from the listing.
