Description
The North Cheriton War Memorial is a stone structure erected in the 1920s to honor local men who lost their lives during the First World War and the Second World War. It features a gently tapering stone column topped with a Latin cross, with carved foliage at its base. Decorative brackets with carved foliage are located halfway up the column shaft. The column stands on a square snecked stone base, which is surrounded by snecked stone steps. The stone rubble base of the cross displays three stone plaques inscribed with black lettering, each reading:
TO THE GLORY OF GOD / AND IN PROUD MEMORY OF / THE MEN OF THIS VILLAGE / WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES / IN THE GREAT WAR 1914-1919 (NAMES) / FAITHFUL UNTO DEATH AND/ IN THE MEMORY OF/ THE FALLEN / OF THE 2ND WORLD WAR / 1939-1945/ (NAME)
The memorial is located opposite the village stock and the entrance to the churchyard of St John the Baptist Church.
