Description
The Coleshill War Memorial is located in the northernmost corner of the churchyard of All Saints Church, which is a Grade II* listed building. It sits at the junction of Village Road and Barracks Hill in the center of the village, protected from the roadway by a low brick wall with four piers and a chain.
This tall stone memorial features a pattée wheel-head cross atop an octagonal shaft with a chamfered foot. The shaft rises from a square plinth that is set on a square, three-stepped base. A stone plaque on the front face of the plinth bears the main inscription: "THIS CROSS WAS RAISED & THIS/ CHURCHYARD CONSECRATED/ IN LOVING MEMORY OF THOSE/ FROM THIS VILLAGE WHO DIED/ IN THE GREAT WAR 1914 – 1919/ YE THAT LIVE ON MID ENGLISH PASTURES GREEN/ REMEMBER US AND THINK WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN."
On either side of the plinth, two plaques list the 13 names of those who fell in the First World War. Additionally, a plaque on the front face of the top step of the base commemorates the four names of those who fell in the Second World War, marked with the dates 1939 – 1945. All inscriptions are incised and painted in black enamel.
