Eastington War Memorial

The memorial stands in the north part of the churchyard of St Michael and All Angels (Grade II*). It takes the form of a wheel-head limestone cross on a tapering, octagonal shaft, mounted on a square, two-tier plinth. The transition from the cross to the shaft is marked by carved foliage.

On the front of the upper plinth is inscribed TO THE GLORY OF GOD/ AND IN LOVING MEMORY OF (NAMES) AND OTHER OFFICERS & MEN CONNECTED WITH/ THIS PARISH WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES/ FOR KING & COUNTRY/ IN THE GREAT WAR 1914-1918. The remaining names of those who died appear on the side panels. On the rear is inscribed SACRED ALSO TO THE MEMORY OF/ THOSE WHO FELL IN THE/ 1939-1945 WAR./ (NAMES).

The inscriptions, and the names of all those commemorated, are also recorded on bronze panels fixed horizontally round on the top of the lower plinth.
