Description
The Minety War Memorial is located in a small walled and gated enclosure on the main road through the village, at the junction of Silver Street and Hornbury Hill. It is situated next to the former School House and School, which are unlisted, and opposite the current village school, also unlisted.
The memorial stands approximately 3 meters tall and features a simple granite obelisk that is square in plan. It rests on a three-stepped plinth with a two-stepped base. The main inscription is incised on the front face of the obelisk in black-painted lettering, which reads: "DEDICATED TO THE MEMORY OF THE MEN OF MINETY WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES FOR THEIR KING AND COUNTRY IN THE GREAT WAR A.D. 1914 – 1919 ALSO OF THE WAR 1939 – 1945." On either side of the obelisk, there are biblical quotations taken from the Book of Lamentations.
