Description
The Trusham War Memorial is a First World War memorial that was unveiled in 1926 and renovated in 2012. It is made of granite and features a rectangular inscribed stone tablet situated between two round stone posts, resting on a two-tier base.
The original inscription, which is now located on the reverse side of the memorial, reads: "TO THE GLORY OF GOD AND IN MEMORY OF/ (FIVE NAMES)/ WHO LOST THEIR LIVES/ IN THE GREAT WAR 1914 - 1919." The new tablet added to the front replicates the original dedication and names, with corrected spellings, and includes a dedication to three parishioners who lost their lives in World War II, stating: "WHO LOST THEIR LIVES IN WORLD WAR II/ 1939-45," along with the date of the memorial's renovation, "SEPTEMBER 2012."
The memorial is set on a platform, and the front retaining rubble stone wall features a plaque that reads: "TO THE GLORIOUS DEAD ERECTED IN 1926 BY THE VOLUNTARY LABOUR OF (NAMES)/ SITE GIVEN BY E & W WOLLAND/ STONE GIVEN BY W. CLEAVE, W. COOMBES, W. DAVENPORT, F. LLOYD, T. LEE/ GRANITE CO., G. WOOLAND. HAULAGE BY: W & E CLEAVE. ENGRAVING BY M. WESTCOTT."
