Description

The Castle Cary War Memorial, built around 1920, honors those who died in both World Wars. It is made of granite with incised lead lettering.

The memorial is located on an island to the north-west of the horse pond, at the junction of Fore Street, Lower Park Street, and Ashby Place. It has a rectangular shape with a cross positioned above a plinth that rises from a stepped platform.

Facing north-west towards Ashby Place, the memorial features a cross with a wheel head and a tapered shaft. The plinth is designed as a rough-hewn rectangular boulder with a smooth, recessed panel on the front that reads ‘THE / GREAT WAR / 1914-1919’. Below this, there is an additional angled panel that states ‘1939 / TO / 1945’ in the center, flanked by the names of those who fell in the Second World War. The sides of the plinth have recessed smooth panels that list the names of those who died in the First World War.
