Description
The Dean Prior War Memorial is a 3-meter tall granite cross located in the churchyard of the Church of St George, which is a Grade I listed building. The memorial is situated immediately south of the lych gate and faces the A38 road. It features a Latin cross that is octagonal in shape, with slightly splayed cross arms. The cross is mounted on a shouldered pedestal that is square in plan, which in turn stands on a two-stepped octagonal base.
The main dedicatory inscription is incised into the front face of the pedestal. As of 2017, it was highly weathered but is reported to read: "TO THE GLORY OF GOD AND HONOUR OF THOSE WHO WENT AND IN MEMORY OF THOSE WHO FELL IN THE GREAT WAR 1914 – 18." The names of three individuals commemorated by the memorial are recorded on the base.
