Description
The Kilkhampton War Memorial is a war memorial cross dating from 1921. It is made of dressed granite and features a square base and plinth. The tapering shaft rises to a wheel cross, with the front (south-east) face displaying a sword of sacrifice carved in relief. Below the sword, the inscription reads: REMEMBER/ THESE MEN/ OF/ KILKHAMPTON/ WHO GAVE/ THEIR LIVES IN THE/ GREAT WAR/ 1914-1919. The plinth bears the names of the fallen, while the rear (north-west) face is inscribed: THIS MEMORIAL/ WAS ERECTED TO/ COMMEMORATE THE MEN/ WHO HAVE SACRIFICED/ THEIR LIVES FOR THEIR/ COUNTRY IN THE GREAT/ WAR 1914 - 1919. Leaning against the front step is a granite slab inscribed: 1939 - 1945/ (NAMES), set in the concrete surface. The four corners of the concrete slab are marked by granite posts that are chain-linked.
