Description
The Corfe War Memorial is a First World War memorial dating from around 1920, with later additions made after the Second World War. It is constructed from stone and features a tall Celtic-style cross adorned with carved Celtic tracery on both the front and rear faces. The cross has a rectangular shaft, which is supported by a tapering plinth that stands on a wide, single-stepped base.
On the plinth, there is a plaque inscribed with the following text: "IN HONOUR OF THE MEN OF CORFE WHO SERVED IN THE GREAT WAR 1914 - 1919 AND IN MEMORY OF THOSE WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES FOR GOD, KING AND COUNTRY (NAMES) THE WORLD WAR 1939 - 1945 (NAMES)."
