1920_construction, Grade II Listed (UK), war memorial
The Cound memorial was built on land donated by Mr A McCorquodale of Cound Hall. The memorial was designed by George Jack and the sculptor was Lawrence A Turner. The unveiling took place on 17 October 1920 and was undertaken Lt Col J V Ramsden. Following the Second World War a further name was added. In 2014 Cound Parish Council received a grant from War Memorial Trust to clean, re-point and re-cut all the inscriptions on the stone work, including a Doff clean, high pressure steam and re-pointing with a mortar match in colour and texture. Letters were re-cut with the original font and size.
