Description
The Berkley War Memorial is a First World War memorial, erected around 1920, with later additions for the Second World War. It is prominently located beside the west gate into the churchyard. The memorial is made from granite and features a Celtic cross on a slightly tapering shaft, which has the Sword of Sacrifice carved in relief on its west face. This shaft is set into a rough-hewn, square plinth that stands on a stone base. The west face of the plinth has a raised inscription that reads: "TO THE GLORY OF GOD / AND IN HONOURED MEMORY / OF THE MEN OF THIS PARISH / WHO FELL IN THE GREAT WAR / 1914-1918 / (NAMES) / ERECTED BY THE PARISHIONERS OF BERKLEY." The inscription on the south face commemorates the Second World War with the years "1939-1945 / (NAMES)."
