Description
The Cold Ashton War Memorial is a churchyard memorial commemorating those who fell in both World Wars, dating from around 1945 and constructed by the Bodmin Granite Company.
It is made of rock-faced Bodmin Granite with inset lead lettering. The memorial has a rectangular shape in both plan and section and faces south. At the top, it features a wheel-head cross with a Celtic design and a tapered shaft. Below the cross is a tapered plinth that stands on a stepped podium. The lower shaft is inscribed with the words ‘FOR / KING / AND / COUNTRY’. The plinth includes a projecting ashlar plaque with a smooth surface and a cusped border, which reads ‘IN GRATEFUL MEMORY OF THOSE / WHO LAID DOWN THEIR LIVES IN / TWO GREAT WARS / 1914-1918 – 1939-1945 / (Names)’. Beneath the names, the inscription continues with “THEIR NAME LIVETH FOR EVERMORE”. The rear and sides of the memorial are plain, except for a small plaque on the east side that states ‘BODMIN GRANITE Co. / BODMIN’.
