Description
The Bradford Peverell War Memorial is a memorial dedicated to those who fell in the First and Second World Wars, erected around 1920, with additional names from the Second World War added after 1945.
Constructed from granite set in a concrete foundation, the memorial is located in the churchyard of St Mary’s Church, near the center of Bradford Peverell, facing south and situated to the south of the Grade I listed medieval church. The structure features a rough-hewn granite cross pattée with a flat outer edge, mounted on a tapering shaft approximately 2.5 meters high, which rises from a two-tier stepped square plinth that is 0.6 meters high. The shaft is adorned with a carving of a longsword pointing upwards.
The upper tier of the front of the plinth bears the inscription: "TO THE GLORY OF GOD/ AND IN MEMORY/ OF THE MEN OF BRADFORD PEVERELL/ WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES/ IN THE GREAT WAR/ 1914-1918." On the other three sides, eleven names are inscribed, including rank, regiment, and date of death. Beneath the longsword on the shaft, the inscription reads "1939-1945/ (NAMES)," listing three names of the Fallen. The memorial is firmly set in its concrete foundation.
