Description
The Morchard Bishop War Memorial is a 5-meter tall memorial made of Dartmoor granite, located on The Green, near several Grade II-listed buildings. It features a plain Latin cross that rises from a small pedestal, which is set on a broad three-stepped base.
The main dedicatory inscription on the front face of the pedestal reads: "TO THE UNDYING MEMORY OF THE MEN OF THIS PARISH WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES FOR KING AND COUNTRY IN THE GREAT WAR 1914 - 1918 LEST WE FORGET." Below this, on the upper step, it also states: "ALSO OF THOSE WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES FOR THEIR KING AND COUNTRY IN THE WAR 1939 – 1945." The names of those commemorated are listed on the pedestal and upper step.
The memorial is enclosed by a square area marked by stone kerbing and features eight metal posts with finials that support double chains around the enclosure.
