Description
The Standish War Memorial is a First World War memorial built in 1920 by Freebury and Hillman of Stroud and altered after the Second World War. It is made of Minchinhampton limestone.
The memorial features a Celtic cross with intricate interlacing carvings. The tapering column of the cross sits on a base that is set on a two-stepped plinth with a platform. On the north side, the memorial is inscribed with the following text: "ERECTED BY THE PARISHIONERS OF STANDISH PAST AND PRESENT IN GRATEFUL MEMORY OF THE MEN WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES FOR THE FREEDOM OF THEIR COUNTRY DURING THE GREAT WAR 1914-1918 [NAMES] THEIR NAMES LIVETH FOR EVERMORE."
On the south side, there is an inscription that reads: "A LATER GENERATION OF PARISHIONERS HERE PAYS GRATEFUL TRIBUTE TO GRANVILLE WILLIAM STOPFORD FLIGHT SERGEANT ROYAL AIR FORCE WHO GAVE HIS LIFE IN THE WORLD WAR 1939-1945."
