Description
The Payhembury War Memorial, erected in 1921, features a raised platform with associated dwarf walls and steps that were added in 1949.
The memorial is made from roughly hewn granite and stands on a raised stone platform of crazy paving. The dwarf walls and approach steps are constructed from Westleigh stone, and the inscriptions are created with painted lead lettering.
The memorial consists of a chamfered granite cross set on a tapered plinth, which is positioned on a three-step octagonal base. The inscription on the south-east face of the plinth reads:
IN GRATEFUL MEMORY / OF THE MEN OF THIS PARISH / WHO FELL IN THE GREAT WAR / 1914 – 1918 / (NAMES)
On the top step of the base, there are two additional names of parishioners who died as a result of the conflict. The date ‘1939-1945’ is inscribed below, along with the names of four parishioners who died in the Second World War.
The memorial is approached by a flight of three steps and is surrounded by a dwarf stone wall on the raised stone platform with crazy paving.
