Description
The Milton Abbot War Memorial is located in the north-east corner of the churchyard of the Parish Church of St Constantine, which is a Grade I-listed building. It is near several Grade II-listed churchyard monuments and the lych gate. The memorial features a tall granite cross that rises from a pedestal, which is set on a three-stepped base.
The cross is a plain Latin design with an octagonal section and is decorated with a carved reversed sword. The moulded foot of the cross shaft extends from the corniced pedestal, which is square in shape and rests on an octagonal three-stepped base. The main dedicatory inscription on the front face of the pedestal reads: "TO THE GLORY OF GOD/ AND IN PROUD MEMORY OF/ (10 NAMES)/ WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES FOR KING/ AND COUNTRY IN THE GREAT WAR/ 1914 – 1918."
There is also a later inscription for the Second World War at the foot of the pedestal, which states: "1939 – 1945/ (1 NAME)." All inscriptions are made with applied metal lettering.
