Description

The war memorial is made of grey granite and features a Celtic cross with a tapering shaft and interlace decoration. It stands on a two-part base, with the upper part tapering and inscribed with the names of those from the parish of Lampeter Velfrey who fell in the Great War. The lower part of the base is a square block that has a marble slab affixed to it, commemorating the fallen from the Second World War.

The memorial is positioned on a concrete plinth with a chamfered top edge. It is accessed by a flight of four rounded limestone steps that rise to the rear, all set within a half-round recess in the churchyard wall, which is faced with battered, roughly-coursed limestone masonry.

Local climate

War Memorial sits in one of the wettest parts of the UK, with an average of 1,170 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 90% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 95% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 13 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 88% of listed buildings. Of these, 5 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
