Description
The memorial to the fallen of Paulerspury takes the form of a Calvary, set on a small Green to the front of the churchyard of St James the Great Church (listed Grade II*). The figure of Christ crucified is of oak, beneath a canopy. The cross, which has a lead-flashed lower section, rises from a sloping stone plinth (replaced in stone from Great Tew in 2014), itself set on an octagonal step and a two-stage square base.
On the plinth is inscribed ERECTED BY ELLA HARRISON TO/ THE MEMORY OF THE MEN OF/ PAULERSPURY WHO FELL IN THE/ GREAT WAR FOR GOD KING AND/ COUNTRY./ 1914-1918 (27 NAMES). On one face are recorded the names of the eight men and one woman who fell in the Second World War.
