Description

The Ashburton War Memorial is a First World War memorial built in 1921 and altered after the Second World War. It is made of granite and features a plain Latin cross with chamfered edges. The cross has a tapering shaft and is positioned on a square plinth that rests on a three-stepped, octagonal base.

The plinth and base display plaques that list the names of those who fell, along with the inscription: "IN HONOURED MEMORY/ AND/ GRATEFUL REMEMBRANCE/ OF 72 BRAVE MEN/ WHO FELL IN THE GREAT WAR/ 1914-1918/ ASHBURTON DEDICATES THIS MONUMENT/ THE PATH OF DUTY WAS THE WAY TO GLORY/ (NAMES)." There is an additional plaque that honors those from the town who lost their lives in the Second World War, stating: "IN HONOURED MEMORY OF/ THOSE OF THIS TOWN/ WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES IN/ THE SECOND WORLD WAR 1939-45/ (NAMES)."

The base of the memorial is surrounded by low iron railings.
