Blackawton War Memorial

The memorial stands in a paved area to the south side of Main Street, to the east of Churchgate House (Grade II) and the Church of St Michael (Grade I) and numerous listed churchyard monuments. It takes the form of a small Latin cross in granite, raised on a small pedestal. The pedestal stands on a broad granite plinth. The plinth stands on a large block of coursed rubble walling with a chamfered top.

The Second World War dedication to the front face of the pedestal reads: 1939 – 1934/ (4 NAMES), whilst the First World War dedication on the plinth below reads: IN MEMORY OF THE FALLEN, 1914 - 1919/ (10 NAMES). All the texts are in applied metal letters.

The paved area is enclosed by a low stone wall, with an opening flanked by low piers to the front, facing onto the street
