Description
The Brixham War Memorial is a tribute to those who served in the First and Second World Wars. It is made of granite and features bronze plaques. The memorial has a two-tiered base topped with a square plinth, which supports a tall shaft with a wheel cross. The front face of the cross and shaft is adorned with a carved design. At the base of the shaft, there is a dedication in raised lettering that reads, "IN/ GRATEFUL/ REMEMBRANCE OF/ OUR HEROIC/ FELLOW CITIZENS/ WHO SACRIFICED/ THEIR LIVES IN THE/ WORLD WARS/ 1914 - 1919 / 1939 -1945./ THEIR NAME/ LIVETH FOR/ EVERMORE." This dedication is also found on the opposite side of the shaft. The plinth features bronze plaques on each side listing the names of those who died in the wars. Surrounding the plinth is a low iron chain-link fence on the top tier, and in front, there are small stones marking the dates of the conflicts on each side of the memorial.
