Description
The Bow Parish War Memorial Cross is a tall granite cross located in the churchyard of the Church of St Bartholomew, which is a Grade I-listed building. It is situated near the entrance gate at the north-west corner of the churchyard. The memorial features a rough-hewn Latin cross that rises from a tapering plinth, which is set on a three-stepped base. The front face of the plinth lists the names of 12 individuals who were casualties of the First World War. The main dedicatory inscription below states: "TO THE GLORY OF GOD AND IN GRATEFUL MEMORY OF THE MEN OF THIS PARISH WHO DIED IN THE GREAT WAR 1914 – 1918." The front face of the step includes the dates 1939 – 1945, along with four names beneath them. Additionally, one more name is inscribed on the upper surface of the middle step.
