Description

The war memorial stands in a cemetery to the south-east of the churchyard of Chilmark’s Grade II*-listed church of St Margaret of Antioch.

The memorial comprises a four-stepped octagonal base surmounted by an octagonal plinth, octagonal tapering shaft and Latin cross of Chilmark stone. The southern face of the plinth bears the inscription: TO THE GLORY/ OF GOD AND IN/ MEMORY OF THE/ MEN OF THIS/ PARISH WHO/ FELL IN THE/ GREAT WAR/ 1914 – 1918.

The remaining seven sides of the plinth carry their names, which include the name of one woman.  The top step carries on its southern face: THEIR NAME LIVETH/ FOR EVERMORE. The opposite, northern face of the same step carries: 1939-1945.  The adjacent faces to right and left each carry a name.
