Description
The Iddesleigh War Memorial is located in the south-east corner of the churchyard of the Church of St James, which is listed as Grade I, and is near a Grade II-listed chest tomb. The memorial features a granite wheel-head cross with a reversed sword carved in low relief on the front. The cross shaft rises from a tapered plinth that sits on a square base.
On the front face of the plinth, there is a dedicatory inscription that reads, “TO THE GLORY OF GOD/ AND IN GRATEFUL MEMORY OF/ NOBLE LIVES LAID DOWN BY MEN/ OF IDDESLEIGH 1914 – 1919.” This is followed by seven names and the phrase, “THEIR NAME LIVETH FOR EVERMORE.”
