Chaffcombe War Memorial

Chaffcombe War Memorial is a First World War memorial built in 1919, designed by architect J Madge. An additional inscription was added in 1948, and the memorial was restored in 2014.

The memorial is carved from Hamstone and is located prominently at a junction in the center of the village. It has an octagonal shape and features a three-stepped base topped by a square plinth that includes inscriptions honoring the fallen from both the First and Second World Wars. The First World War inscriptions are carved into recessed panels. The east face reads: "AT THE GOING DOWN OF THE SUN/ AND IN THE MORNING/ WE WILL REMEMBER THEM./ THE LORD GAVE/ AND THE LORD HATH TAKEN AWAY/ BLESSED BE THE NAME OF THE LORD," while the west face states: "TO THE GLORY OF GOD/ AND IN MEMORY/ OF THE MEN OF THIS VILLAGE/ WHO FELL IN THE GREAT WAR/ 1914–1918." The names, ranks, and regiments of those who died are inscribed on the north and south sides of the plinth, with the north side featuring a later raised panel. An inscription on the upper step of the base lists the names, ranks, and regiments of the men who died in the Second World War.

The tapering octagonal shaft rises to a cross, which is said to be a replica of the Military Cross. The cross has decorative terminals, and both faces are adorned with four crowns in relief and a monogram at the center.
