Coxwold War Memorial Within The Churchyard Of Saint Michael'S Church

The Coxwold War Memorial, located within the churchyard of Saint Michael's Church, was erected in 1919 and designed by Temple Moore, with execution by his son, Leslie Moore. It is made of sandstone and features a cross with a tapering shaft that has an octagonal section, a moulded knop, and a socle. The arms of the cross are cusped. This cross is set above an octagonal plinth that transitions to a square base through broaches, and it is raised on three steps.

The memorial bears an inscription in Gothic script on the plinth and steps, which reads: "IN PROUD AND/AFFECTIONATE/MEMORY OF THESE/MEN WHO FELL IN THE/GREAT WAR 1914-1918". A design for the cross was commissioned from Temple Moore and presented to a parish meeting in October 1919. After Temple Moore's death, Leslie Moore took over as the architect. The memorial was dedicated during a service on May 8th, 1921, and it cost £150 17s. The memorial forms a group with the church of St. Michael in Coxwold.
