Description
A First World War memorial, unveiled 1921, rebuilt and relocated 2008.
MATERIALS: sandstone
DESCRIPTION: standing in the churchyard of St Paul the Apostle (Grade II-listed), to the west of the church, the memorial takes the form of a stone floriated cross head on a tapering octagonal shaft. The cross shaft rises from a plinth, octagonal on plan, with a moulded foot which is set on a two-stepped base, the lower step being square.
The south-east face of the plinth bears an incised inscription which reads TO THE GLORY/ OF GOD/ AND IN/ HONOURED MEMORY/ OF OUR GALLANT DEAD/ WHO FELL IN THE/ GREAT WAR/ 1914 – 1918/ THEIR NAME LIVETH/ FOR EVERMORE. The names of the 100 First World War fallen are recorded on the remaining faces of the plinth. They are listed alphabetically without ranks. The north-west face of the plinth also bears a dedication to a member of the church who helped to restore the memorial in 2008.
