Description
The Wayside Cross War Memorial, dedicated in 1917, is a First World War memorial located east of the Roman Catholic Church of the Annunciation. It features a timber cross set on a stone plinth, which is aligned as a cross with equal length arms. The memorial stands on a terrace on steeply sloping land below the church, representing the last remaining element of the former Priory at Woodchester. The stone plinth is constructed from coursed limestone rubble with ashlar coping, and the names of the fallen are inscribed on ashlar panels on each face of the walls. A flight of steps leads down to a path, with a later 20th-century wooden gate onto Bath Road, flanked by ashlar piers that extend to stone-coped rubble dwarf walls and similar outer piers.
