War Memorial in St Andrew's Churchyard

The War Memorial in St Andrew's Churchyard is a First World War memorial erected in 1920. It is made from Cornish granite and features a Celtic cross on a square shaft, which is mounted on a three-stepped octagonal base. The cross-head has a carved representation of the Crucifixion at its center. At the base of the shaft, there is a relief carving of a crown and a laurel wreath, symbols of victory. On the upper step, the inscription reads: 1914 GREAT WAR 1919. The three front (north) faces of the middle step bear the inscription: "THEY WHOM THIS CROSS COMMEMORATES ARE NUMBERED AMONG THOSE WHO AT THE / CALL OF KING AND COUNTRY LEFT ALL THAT WAS DEAR TO THEM, ENDURED HARDNESS / FACED DANGER, AND FINALLY PASSED OUT OF THE SIGHT OF MEN, BY / THE PATH OF DUTY AND SELF SACRIFICE, GIVING UP THEIR / OWN LIVES THAT OTHERS MIGHT LIVE IN FREEDOM. LET THOSE WHO COME / AFTER SEE TO IT THAT THEY BE NOT FORGOTTEN."
