Description
The Shrewton War Memorial is located inside the churchyard of the Church of St Mary the Virgin, which is a Grade II*-listed building. It stands next to the cast-iron entrance gate and railings, close to other churchyard monuments and opposite Church House, all of which are also Grade II-listed.
This stone memorial features a Latin cross that rises from a moulded collar on a tapering octagonal shaft. The cross shaft is set on a square plinth with chamfered shoulders, which sits on a two-stepped square base.
The main inscription in relief-carved Gothic lettering on the front face of the plinth reads "OUR/ GALLANT DEAD/ A:D 1914-1918," while a further inscription in similar script on the upper step indicates "1939-1945."
On the rear face of the plinth, there is an incised and black-painted inscription that states "PEACE BE UPON THEM/ AND MERCY." The names of the deceased are incised into the side faces of the plinth and the upper step of the base.
