Description
The stone memorial is located at the junction of Wicker Lane and Hale Road. It features a wheel-head cross raised on a tapered octagonal shaft. The shaft is set on a square, chamfered pedestal, which in turn rests on an octagonal base.
Each face of the pedestal is decorated at the top with a strapwork roundel supported by flambeaux, carved in low relief. Each roundel includes a wreath encircling a lion passant. The names of those commemorated are incised below on each face.
The corners of the chamfered pedestal are carved with a broad interlace pattern that ends in stops. The dedicatory inscription is incised into the upper face of the base, encircling the memorial cross. It reads "TO THE MEMORY AND HONOUR OF THE MEN OF HALE BARNS AND RINGWAY WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES IN THE TWO WORLD WARS," with the dates 1914 – 1919 and 1939 – 1945 inscribed on the sides. The lower portion of the base is rough-hewn.
