Description
The Malmesbury War Memorial is a cross built in 1921, designed by Henry Stafford de Bertodano and constructed by Messrs Webb & Son of Chippenham. It is made of dressed Portland, Blue Pennant, and Hopton Wood stone.
The memorial features a war memorial cross on a three-stepped square base, topped with a square tapering plinth. The Celtic wheel cross is inspired by the cross of St Martin from the island of Iona and is adorned with intricate carved Celtic designs on both the cross and the shaft. The plinth includes moulded relief panels on the north and south faces, inscribed with "1914 1919/ TO/ OUR GLORIOUS DEAD/ (NAMES)." The east and west faces bear the names of the fallen.
Located at the center of a road junction, the memorial is protected at its four corners by painted bollards.
