The memorial at Chudleigh Knighton was built within the main gateway to the mid-C19 Church of St. Paul, and is attached to the rubble stone church walls. It was erected to commemorate the members of the parish who died during the First World War. The design of this memorial takes the relatively unusual form of an archway, and acts as a reminder to the parishioners who pass underneath the gate on their way to services of those who died in the conflict.
The war memorial gateway to the north east of the church of St. Paul, Chudleigh Knighton, Hennock, Devon is listed at Grade II, for the following principal reasons:
