History

Sponsor Type: public
Maintenance History: The memorial is owned by Pelynt Parish Council but Pelynt War Memorial Fund took on the responsibility for arranging the necessary conservation works. The main aim of the recent conservation works was to improve the retaining wall that was surrounding it and to add the names of the WWII casualties. Cleaning and re-pointing were also carried out. A War Memorials Trust grant of £1,060 was paid under this scheme.
