Description
Gawcott War Memorial is a First World War memorial built in 1922, with later additions for the Second World War. It is situated within the churchyard to the north of the Grade II*-listed Church of Holy Trinity.
The memorial is made of rough-hewn stone and features a wheel-head cross on a tapering shaft, which rises from a tapering, square plinth set on a single-step base. The main inscription is located on the west face of the plinth, on an inset smooth stone panel, with all lettering crafted in lead.
The principal inscription reads: "TO THE GLORY OF GOD AND IN GRATEFUL REMEMBRANCE 1914 – 1919 (18 NAMES) GREATER LOVE HATH NO MAN THAN THIS." There is an additional inscription commemorating the Second World War on an inset panel on the east face of the plinth, which states: "AND IN GRATEFUL REMEMBRANCE 1939 – 1945 (2 NAMES)."
