Description
The Topsham War Memorial is a First World War memorial built in 1920 and altered after the Second World War. It is made of granite and is located prominently by the roadside to the east of the Church of St Margaret, which is listed as Grade II*.
The memorial features a plain Latin cross with a gently tapering octagonal shaft, set on a three-tiered octagonal plinth with a single-stepped octagonal base. The upper tier of the plinth has the names of 69 fallen soldiers inscribed in leaded lettering on five sides. The middle tier bears the inscription "THEIR NAME/ LIVETH FOR/ EVERMORE," while the lower tier is marked with the dates "1914 – 1918." Additionally, the upper tier has an inscription listing the names of 23 individuals lost in World War Two, with the dates "1939-1945" on the lower tier.
