About the memorial: The war memorial commemorating the fallen of Crediton and the surrounding hamlets of mid Devon takes the form of an octagonal market cross, with a timber arcade enclosing an area flagged in sandstone. In the centre of the arcade is a stepped octagonal shaft of Pocombe sandstone upon which are Portland stone inscription panels. The roof is steeply pitched and shingled with oak; it rises to an open lantern above which is a steeple topped with a cross. The memorial stands on Union Road, Crediton, in front of Newcombes Meadow playing fields.The IWM entry describes the memorial as a shelter, which it certainly could be in inclement weather, though it is not clear if this was the intention of the designer.
