Description
The Shepton Montague War Memorial is a First World War memorial, erected around 1920, with additions for the Second World War. It is made of rock-faced Doulting stone and has a concrete base.
The memorial is located in the west corner of St Peter’s churchyard and is designed in the shape of a Celtic wheel-head cross, facing south-west. The churchyard wall has been lowered to ensure the memorial is visible from the nearby road. It features a single-step base that supports a plinth, which in turn holds a square, tapering socket stone. A tapering shaft rises from the socket stone, topped by a wheel-head cross adorned with Celtic designs in relief. The south-west faces of both the socket stone and plinth are dressed and include dedicatory inscriptions. The inscription on the socket stone reads: ‘IN MEMORY OF / THE MEN OF THIS PARISH / WHO FELL IN THE / GREAT WAR 1914-1918, / KILLED AND MISSING / [Names]’, while the plinth is inscribed: ‘ALSO 1939-1945 / [Names]’.
