Eastleach Turville Memorial Cross

This 5.2m tall stone memorial is composed of a three-stepped base surmounted by a square plinth. A tapering octagonal shaft rises from the plinth, culminating in a moulded collar supporting a wheel-head cross. A small annulet is carved in low relief at the cross centre.

The inscriptions are incised into each face of the plinth. The principal dedication reads TO THE GLORIOUS MEMORY/ OF THE MEN OF OUR PARISH/ WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES/ IN THE GREAT WAR 1914 – 1918. The names of 12 servicemen who died are commemorated. The later Second World War dedication reads 1939 – 1945 (2 NAMES).

The memorial is surrounded by a small gravelled area, enclosed by a low, dry-stone wall.
