Description

The Bere Regis War Memorial is an early 20th-century stone structure. It features a simple cross head and a tapering chamfered shaft, likely made of Portland stone, which stands on a square plinth. The memorial is elevated on a base of three steps. The inscription on the plinth encircles all four sides and reads: "IN GRATEFUL MEMORY / OF THOSE WHO GAVE THEIR / LIVES FOR THEIR COUNTRY / 1914-19 (surname and regiment)." Additionally, those who lost their lives in the Second World War are commemorated on a separate stone affixed to the steps on the north side, inscribed with: "1939-1945 / (surname and regiment)."

This memorial was established to honor those who died during the Great War, with the later addition of the inscription for Second World War casualties. It is recognized for its significance as a poignant reminder of the impact of tragic world events on the local community and has group value with the nearby Grade I listed church.
