Description
The Bowness on Solway War Memorial is a First World War memorial built in 1920, with an addition for the Second World War. It is made of red granite and is located in the churchyard of the Grade II*-listed Church of St Michael, prominently positioned near the churchyard entrance and close to the main road. The memorial features a polished red granite Latin cross on top of a simple foot, which surmounts a tall four-sided plinth decorated with moulded and incised cap details, all resting on a two-stepped base. The plinth has inscriptions in incised and blacked lettering that read: IN/ MEMORY/ AND HONOUR OF/ THE MEN/ OF THIS PARISH/ WHO FELL/ IN THE GREAT WAR/ 1914 – 1918// (NAMES)// AND JOSEPH MILLAR WHO FELL IN THE SECOND GREAT WAR 1939 - 1945. The names of the fallen are listed on the left and right sides in order of first name.
