Description
The memorial stands in a small garden between Brian Roycroft Court and the Church of St Silas (Grade II-listed). It comprises a c 5m tall hooded Calvary cross in sandstone. The cross shaft rises from an octagonal plinth with a shallow cornice and moulded foot. The plinth stands on a two stepped base.

The principal dedicatory inscription on the front face of the plinth reads IN MEMORY OF/ THOSE WHO/ BROUGHT HONOUR/ TO THIS DISTRICT/ BY GIVING THEIR/ LIVES IN THE/ GREAT WAR/ 1914 – 1919. The commemorated names are listed on the other faces and on the moulded foot of the plinth.
