Description
The war memorial, which incorporates the remains of a churchyard cross, is located about 19 meters south of the chancel of the Church of St Andrew in Whitestaunton. The cross, possibly dating from the 14th century, was restored around 1920. The original stone is unidentified and has been renewed with Ham stone. The memorial features an octagonal three-stage calvary that is much eroded, with a square plinth that transitions to an octagon, and an octagonal tapering shaft topped with a 20th-century cross. The south side is inscribed as a memorial to those who fell in the First World War.
