Description
The Rowde War Memorial Cross is a granite memorial located beside a path in the churchyard of the Church of St Matthew, which is also a Grade II* listed building. It is situated near several other Grade II-listed monuments in the churchyard. The memorial features a plain rough-hewn Latin cross that stands on a tapering rough-hewn plinth, which has a two-stepped square base.
The main dedicatory inscription on the front face of the plinth is made of applied metal lettering and reads: "IN LOVING MEMORY OF THE BRAVE OFFICERS AND MEN OF ROWDE WHO FELL IN THE GREAT WAR 1914 – 1919. (NAMES) REMEMBER THE NAMES OF THEM WHO CAME NOT HOME FROM THE WAR."
On the right-hand face of the plinth, there is a later inscription commemorating those who fell in the Second World War, which reads: "IN REMEMBRANCE OF THOSE WHO FELL IN THE WAR 1939-1945 (NAMES)."
