Roade’s war memorial stands at the centre of Memorial Green, a triangle of grassland between the Ashton and Hartwell Roads. It takes the form of a wheel cross on top of an unusual rough stone column and plinth standing on a single-step base which carries the following inscription: TO THE GLORY OF GOD AND TO THE MEMORY OF THE MEN OF ROADE WHO FELL IN THE GREAT WAR 1914 – 1918 IN DEFENCE OF HOME AND COUNTRY Image] Whilst another face is inscribed: PASS NOT THIS STONE IN SORROW BUT IN PRIDE AND MAY WE LIVE AS NOBY AS THEY DIED Image]
