Dymock War Memorial

The Dymock War Memorial is a war memorial erected around 1920, designed by an unknown architect. It is carved from sandstone and features a floriated cross on top of a hexagonal column, which is supported by a squared plinth that stands on a five-step hexagonal base with chamfered edges. The plinth and the uppermost steps of the base have inscriptions in incised letters.

The names of twenty-nine parishioners who died in the First World War are inscribed on the north, east, and west faces of the plinth. The inscription on the south face of the plinth reads:

IN MEMORY OF THOSE / WHO MADE THE / SUPREME SACRIFICE / FOR THEIR COUNTRY / IN THE GREAT WAR / 1914-1918 / THEIR NAME LIVETH FOR EVERMORE.

In 1949, the two uppermost steps on the south face of the base were altered to commemorate ten parishioners who died as a result of the Second World War. The dates ‘1939-1945’ are inscribed into the chamfered edge of the top step, along with the names of two parishioners on its face. The second step from the top has a section cut to create a flat surface that is inscribed with an additional eight names and a small cross below the central two names.
