Description

The Bowden Hill War Memorial Cross is located in the north-eastern corner of the churchyard of the Church of St Anne, where it faces a main road junction in the village. The churchyard also features the Harris monument, while The Conduit House is situated in the opposite field to the north.

This memorial stands approximately 2.5 meters tall and consists of a simple, rough-hewn Cornish granite wheel-head cross, which is set on a square plinth. The center of the Maltese cross head is decorated with a carved hemispherical boss. The memorial is positioned on a small square base that is flush with the ground.

The main dedicatory inscription on the north face of the plinth is made of applied metal letters and reads: "TO THE GLORY OF GOD/ AND IN MEMORY OF OUR NOBLE DEAD/ WHO MADE THE SUPREME SACRIFICE/ IN THE GREAT WAR 1914 - 1919./ (10 NAMES)/ 'THEIR NAME LIVETH FOR EVERMORE'."
