About the memorial: The war memorial in the Somerset village of Martock at the edge of the Somerset levels is made of Ham stone, which is quarried locally. The memorial is an unusual wheel cross on a shaft. At the bottom of the shaft is a square plinth with lunettes on each face. The shaft stands on a base of concave upright stones, surrounded by low convex pieces of stone. There are metal plaques on the faces of the plinth, with a dedication and lists of names of the fallen of the two world wars. On the front face of the base are smaller plaques to commemorate fallen soldiers of the Korean and Falklands wars. The whole memorial stands on an octagonal base in a dedicated area at the top of steps leading up to All Saints Church from Church Road.
