Description

The Cenotaph is constructed of white flecked granite. It features a tall rectangular base raised on two steps and a plinth, with a stepped upper stage that supports a bronze sculpture of two infantrymen. One soldier is depicted advancing with a bayonet fixed, stepping over his fallen comrade. The base is inscribed with the words "AT GOF UWCH ANGOF." Additionally, a bronze leaf motif is applied to all sides of the plinth.

Local climate

Cenotaph sits in one of the wettest parts of the UK, with an average of 1,220 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 92% 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 23 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 76% of listed buildings. Of these, 9 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.
