Description
The war memorial cross is located in the grounds of the Church of St Anne in Sale Moor, Manchester. This freestanding memorial is set within a grassy rose garden on the north-east side of the church.
The stone cross stands approximately 4 meters tall and is made of Aberdeen granite. A carved wreath of laurel leaves is positioned over the head of the cross, with palms displayed in the center of the wreath. The cross is mounted on an octagonal plinth, which is raised on a two-stepped octagonal base. The foot of the cross shaft features four scrolled feet.
The side and rear panels of the plinth are inscribed with the names of the fallen, while the front three faces display the inscription: "OUR/ FALLEN/ HEROES/ TO THE GLORY OF GOD/ THIS CROSS WAS ERECTED IN LOVING MEMORY/ OF THE MEMBERS OF ST ANNE'S CHURCH, SALE/ WHOSE NAMES ARE INSCRIBED HEREON WHO GAVE THEIR/ LIVES TO DEFEND THE BRITISH EMPIRE IN THE/ GREAT WAR 1914-1919/ “THEY COUNTED NOT THEIR LIVES DEAR UNTO THEMSELVES.”
