Notes: Steve Grigg quotes Dartmoor HER on his website Dartmoor Explorations: “…this tall granite rectangular block pier was unveiled by Lord Hambleden on the site of the old Butter Market in 1921 to the memory of those who fell in the 1914-1918 war. A second plaque was added to commemorate those who died in the Second World War. In 2000 the area round the memorial in the Square was refurbished by members of the Parish Council and plaques with the names of the dead are now affixed to the memorial.“
