This is the Kenwyn war memorial, situated on the B3284, the road north from Truro. It is situated at the junction of Kenwyn Hill and Knights hill. If you turn right from along Knights hill it will take you to Kenwyn Church, which has some rather unusual features. They are highlighted in the Kenwyn Datastore blogsite here. The stone memorial is situated at the junction and the roll of honour as well as the list of vicars is displayed in the church.
The inscription on the memorial are inlaid in lead. However time has caused some of the inscriptions to become indistinct and some have disappeared.
Although the Roll of Honour and the memorial serve different purposes it is unclear on the roll of honour who fell, and those who returned.

| The road on the right disappears down to Truro. The town centre sigh goes to Kenwyn, but actually leads to the church. |
