Description
The war memorial located in the churchyard of the Church of St Saviour was constructed between 1920 and 1921 and unveiled in July 1921. Designed by Henry Chapman Frith, the monument is made of limestone and features a plain cross with slightly tapering arms, which is set on a plain square block. This block rests on a more elaborate base resembling a Cotswold table tomb, complete with a finely-moulded cornice and base, and is elevated on a platform of two steps.
The east face of the block bears the inscription "IN MEMORY OF THE MEN OF TETBURY / WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES IN THE WAR / 1939-1945," along with the names, ranks, and regiments or services of the 35 men who fell during World War Two. The western face lists the names of two servicemen who died in 1993 and 2005. The lower element of the memorial is inscribed on its east face with "IN MEMORY OF THE MEN OF TETBURY / WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES IN THE WAR / 1914-1918," and it includes the names, ranks, and regiments or services of the 68 fallen from World War One, extending to the other three sides.
