Description
The Axmouth War Memorial Cross is located in the churchyard of the Church of St Michael, which is a Grade I-listed building. Made from Cornish granite, the memorial stands approximately 5 meters tall and features a wheel-head cross. Both the cross head and shaft are decorated with intricate interlace patterns carved in low relief. The shaft is set on a three-stepped, octagonal base.
The main dedicatory inscription on the front face of the base reads: "TO THE GLORY OF GOD AND IN LOVING MEMORY OF THE MEN OF THIS PARISH WHO DIED FOR KING AND COUNTRY IN THE GREAT WAR 1914 – 1919 'THEIR NAME LIVETH FOR EVERMORE'." The names of those commemorated are listed on the other faces of the middle step, with the names of two individuals from the Second World War inscribed on the rear.
