Description
Wylye War Memorial is a First World War memorial that includes additions for the Second World War. It is situated in the churchyard to the west of the Church of St Mary, which is listed at Grade II*, and is next to the main path leading to the church. The churchyard features several Grade II-listed monuments, as well as the Grade II-listed Railed Enclosure and Gate Piers on the south edge.
The memorial consists of a granite wheel-head cross atop a tall shaft with a moulded foot. This shaft rises from a tapering, four-sided plinth that sits on a square base. The plinth displays inscriptions and names in leaded lettering.
The primary inscription is located on the west (front) face of the plinth, stating: "THIS CROSS WAS ERECTED/ BY THE PARISHIONERS OF WYLYE,/ IN MEMORY OF THE FOLLOWING/ WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES/ IN THE CAUSE OF THE GREAT WAR/ 1914 – 1918/ (7 NAMES)." On the east (rear) side of the plinth, there is an inscription for the Second World War: "1939 – 1945/ (2 NAMES)."
