War Memorial outside the Church of St Dunstan, Edge Hill

The War Memorial outside the Church of St Dunstan in Edge Hill is a significant structure commemorating those who served in the Great War from 1914 to 1918. It features a two-stepped square base, with the lower step made of smoothly finished sandstone and the upper step of rough-hewn sandstone. On this base stands a large plinth, also crafted from rough-hewn sandstone, which has a smooth square plaque on its front (south) face inscribed with the names of 112 fallen soldiers.

Atop the plinth is a small, smooth square sandstone block that carries the principal dedicatory inscription: "TO THE GLORY OF GOD AND IN MEMORY OF THE MEN OF THIS CHURCH & PARISH WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES IN THE GREAT WAR 1914 TO 1918," carved in low relief.

Rising from this block is a tall sandstone Celtic cross, elaborately decorated with interlace designs and geometric patterns carved in relief on all sides. These intricate designs feature Celtic knots and biting dragons, reflecting styles found in Anglo-Saxon and Viking art, as well as on early stone crosses. The top of the shaft showcases a wheel-head cross adorned with additional relief carvings, including four bosses with cherub heads on the front and rear faces, along with further Celtic knots.
