Description
The Tywardreath Highway War Memorial is a war memorial erected around 1920. It is located within a small, paved enclosure alongside the road between St Blazey and Lostwithiel (A390). The memorial features a granite obelisk set on a tall, narrow plinth made of polished stone, which has a chamfered top. This plinth stands on a square, two-stepped stone base. The front (north-west) face of the plinth is inscribed in black lettering with the following text: "THE HIGHWAY & NEIGHBOURHOOD/ WAR MEMORIAL./ THIS MONUMENT WAS ERECTED BY FREE-/ WILL OFFERINGS TO PERPETUATE THE/ NAMES, HERE RECORDED, OF THE MEN/ WHO SERVED DURING THE GREAT WAR/ 1914-1918/ IN LOVING MEMORY OF THOSE THAT/ PAID THE SUPREME SACRIFICE/ (NAMES)/ “GREATER LOVE HATH NO MAN THAN/ THIS, THAT A MAN LAY DOWN HIS/ LIFE FOR HIS FRIENDS.”/ “AND THANKS BE TO OUR GOD WHO/ GIVETH US THE VICTORY.” The other three faces of the memorial list the names of the men from the community who returned from the conflict.
