Description
The Winterbourne Abbas War Memorial is a First World War memorial erected in 1920. It is located in the churchyard of St Mary’s Church, facing east, near the center of Winterbourne Abbas. The memorial is positioned immediately north of the Grade I listed medieval church and west of the Grade II listed late 17th century Wherry Cottage.
The memorial features a rough-hewn limestone cross with a Celtic head on a tapering shaft that stands 1.3 meters high. This shaft rises from a trapezoidal limestone plinth that is 0.5 meters high. A bronze panel is attached to the front of the plinth, inscribed with the words "TO OUR GLORIOUS DEAD / AND IN MEMORY OF / (NAMES) / FAITHFUL UNTO DEATH." Four names are listed on the panel, including the surname, rank, year of death, regiment, place of death, and age at death. The plinth is supported by a square limestone base, which rests on a brick and cement foundation.
