Bowden Hill War Memorial Cross

The memorial stands in the north-eastern corner of the churchyard of the Church of St Anne (Grade II), where it faces outwards towards one the main road junctions in the village. The churchyard also contains the Harris monument (Grade II), whilst The Conduit House (Grade II*) stands in the opposite field to the north.

The memorial is about 2.5m tall and comprises a simple rough-hewn Cornish granite wheel-head cross, set on a square plinth. The centre of the Maltese cross head is ornamented with a carved hemispherical boss. The memorial stands on a small square base set flush with the ground.

The principal dedicatory inscription to the north face of the plinth is in 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".
