This page is one of a series about St Agnes. I spent a Sunday there.
Unusually I suppose the War Memorial is in the grounds of the Methodist church. A church service was taking place. A quite austere building. It is well placed easily visible and unlike many of the memorials in Cornwall polished. It is placed in its own small garden and well maintained.
The inscription on the front face says:
Some of these names appear to be out of alphabetical order - or even added later.
The side actually facing the church has the names of the fallen from the 1939-1945 War.
Those are the four sides of the memorial. The text is identical on all four sides of the memorial is identical. Well maintained and is kept painted.
This is the final photo I took of the memorial. There will be links to the other St Agnes pages here.
This is the reference from the UK War Memorial register
