Description
The Luppitt War Memorial is a granite structure located in a small enclosure about 22 meters east of the Church of St Mary, which is listed at Grade I. It is also near several Grade II-listed churchyard monuments. The memorial is designed as a tall Latin cross, square in shape, with slightly splayed cross arms, and it rises from a three-stepped, octagonal base.
The main dedicatory inscription is found on the front face of the cross and runs down the cross shaft. It reads: "TO THE GLORY OF GOD AND IN HONOURED MEMORY OF THE MEN OF LUPPITT WHO LAID DOWN THEIR LIVES IN THE GREAT WAR 1914 – 1918 (NAMES) 'GREATER LOVE HATH NO MAN THAN THIS THAT A MAN LAY DOWN HIS LIFE FOR HIS FRIENDS.'"
The memorial is elevated above street level on a square platform and is enclosed by a rubble stone retaining wall in the embanked area at the roadside.
