Description
The East Knoyle War Memorial is a First World War memorial that was unveiled on 26 September 1920. It was designed by Herbert Maryon, who was associated with University College, Reading, and includes additions for later conflicts.
The memorial is made of Portland stone and features a small wheel cross on a slender, tapering shaft that stands approximately 16 feet (4.8 meters) high. This is set on a square plinth, which itself rests on a three-stepped square base. The main face of the plinth is inscribed with the words: "TO THE GLORY OF GOD AND IN MEMORY OF THE MEN OF THIS PARISH WHO MADE THE SUPREME SACRIFICE IN THE GREAT WAR 1914-1918. AND IN THE WORLD WAR 1939 - 1945."
On the left side of the plinth, there is an inscription that reads: "GREATER LOVE HATH NO MAN THAN THIS THAT A MAN LAY DOWN HIS LIFE FOR HIS FRIENDS. IRAQ 2003 (NAME)." On the right side, the plinth displays the dates "1914 - 1918" followed by the names of the 20 men who lost their lives during the First World War. The rear face of the plinth is inscribed with "1939-1945" and lists the names of the 12 individuals who fell during that conflict.
