Description
The Burton in Wirral Peace Cross is a First World War memorial constructed in 1917. It stands on a grassed area alongside the main road through the village, at the junction of The Village and Vicarage Lane. The memorial is a stone wheel-head cross raised on a tall, four-sided plinth, which itself sits on a three-stepped base. Inscriptions are carved into the three steps on the front of the memorial. The uppermost step reads "WALK WHERE YOU WILL YOU WILL NEVER FIND / A HIGHER ROAD ABOVE / NOR SURER ROAD BELOW / THAN THE WAY OF THE HOLY CROSS". The middle step includes the inscription "GIVE PEACE IN OUR TIME / O LORD", and the bottom step bears the dedication date: "HOLY CROSS DAY SEPT 14 / AD 1917”.
