Description
The Instow War Memorial is a Devon granite structure located on elevated ground in the churchyard of the Church of St John the Baptist, which is a Grade I listed building. It is situated near several Grade II-listed monuments and the lych gate. The memorial features a simple Latin cross that rises from a small square pedestal, which is set on a two-stepped octagonal base.
The main dedicatory inscription on the front face of the pedestal states: "TO THE GLORY OF GOD AND IN MEMORY OF THE OFFICERS AND MEN OF THIS PARISH WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES FOR THEIR KING AND COUNTRY IN THE GREAT WAR." The names of those commemorated are inscribed on the other faces of the pedestal, with the names from the Second World War marked above the inscription "1939 - GAVE THEIR LIVES FOR THEIR COUNTRY – 1945."
