St Chad's Cheetham Hill First World War Memorial Cross

St Chad's Cheetham Hill First World War Memorial Cross is a memorial erected around 1920 to commemorate those who served in the First World War. It is made of grey granite and stands approximately two and a half metres tall. The memorial features a wheelhead cross on a pyramidal base with a slightly tapering plinth, facing west towards Cheetham Hill Road.

The cross is adorned with knotwork carving on its arms and has a central relief of Christ’s head crowned with thorns. The shaft of the cross includes stop-chamfered edges and a relief at its base depicting a winged Victory overcoming a serpent. The wheel of the cross has lead lettering that reads "IN HOC SIGNO VINCES," which translates to "in this sign you will conquer." The sides of the shaft feature slightly-recessed panels, also stop-chamfered.

The base of the memorial is smoothly dressed, except for the lower border, which is rock-faced. An inscription in lead capital letters on the base reads: "ERECTED TO THE MEMORY OF THE PARISHIONERS AND OLD SCHOLARS OF ST CHAD'S WHO FELL IN THE GREAT WAR 1914-1918 D. SHEAHAN, M. RECTOR." The plinth is also rock-faced.
