Over Knutsford War Memorial

The sandstone memorial, c3m tall, stands in a small raised garden overlooking the main road, some 60m to the south-east of the Church of St Cross (Grade II*-listed). It consists of a fleur-de-lis cross with a moulded foot rising from an octagonal shaft. The moulded foot of the shaft stands on a square, tapering, plinth set on a three-stepped square base. The raised garden is enclosed by a stone wall. Access from the pavement is provided by a set of steps in front of the memorial.

On the front face of the plinth is an inscription that reads IN GRATEFUL REMEMBERANCE/ OF THE MEN/ CONNECTED WITH THIS PARISH/ WHO DIED/ FOR FREEDOM AND HONOUR/ IN THE GREAT WAR, 1914 – 1918/ THEIR NAME LIVETH FOR EVERMORE. Above the inscription is a Greek cross, carved in low relief. The two side faces bear the names of the men who fell in the First World War. All the inscriptions are incised.
