Description
Daventry War Memorial was granted faculty in 1921 and dedicated in 1922. It is located behind the Grade I listed Church of Holy Cross and the Grade II listed Abbey Building and Daventry District Council offices.
The memorial features a Latin cross with a relief sword, set on a tapered pedestal with a two-stepped plinth, and is surrounded by two steps and paving. There are four name panels around the pedestal, with two panels containing inset lead lettering that lists the names of 114 individuals who served from 1914 to 1918. The names from 1939 to 1945 are inscribed on a stone plaque on the front face of the pedestal, along with an additional lead plaque on a stone at the base of the cross, which details the losses from both World Wars.
The memorial is positioned within the northern boundary of the churchyard, landscaped with rubble stone terracing and a boundary wall facing the street. Gated steps provide access to the memorial.
