War memorial at the Church of St Andrew, Cheddar

The war memorial at the Church of St Andrew in Cheddar is a First World War memorial, built in 1920. It was designed by architect Fred E Openshaw and crafted by Harry Hems and Sons of Exeter, using Doulting stone.

The memorial is styled like a medieval preaching cross. It features a closed lantern head with corner pinnacles and a central finial, both heavily decorated with crocketting. Two opposing faces of the lantern display relief carvings of the Crucifixion and the Virgin and Child, while the other two faces depict St George and St Michael in relief. The lantern sits on a foliate capital above a tapering shaft that has elaborate chamfers and stops, all resting on a moulded, square plinth. The entire structure is elevated on a two-stepped platform, with the upper step featuring a moulded foot. The plinth includes carved inscriptions in a Serif font. The front face is inscribed with the words: PRAISE GOD AND REMEMBER / THE MEN OF CHEDDAR / WHO DIED FOR THEIR COUNTRY / IN THE GREAT WAR / 1914-1919. The other three faces list the names of the 33 men who lost their lives in the conflict.
