Lowca War Memorial

Lowca War Memorial is a First World War memorial built in 1920, located on a roadside green at High Lowca, where it meets West Croft Terrace in Lowca, Cumbria. It is prominently positioned by the main north-south road through the village. The memorial features a light grey granite column with vertical incised flutings, which stands on a moulded pedestal adorned with a cornice and carved wreaths at the top. Below the wreaths are leaded names of the fallen, and the column rests on a moulded three-tiered base that displays a carved crossed rifle and sword on the front face. The column is topped with acanthus carvings. A recent stone tablet, added in 2008, marks the memorial's relocation.

The inscription, in leaded lettering, reads: "ERECTED BY/ THE INHABITANTS OF LOWCA/ TO THE MEMORY OF THOSE/ WHO FELL IN THE GREAT WAR/ 1914 – 1918/ (NAMES)// 1939 – 1945/ (NAMES)// THIS MEMORIAL WAS RE-SITED/ THE 22ND SEPTEMBER 2008/ BY THE PEOPLE OF LOWCA."
