Description
The War Memorial in St Stephen's Churchyard is a First World War memorial erected in 1920. It is situated in the northern corner of the churchyard, near the Grade II-listed Church of St Stephen.
The memorial features a stone wheel-head cross with a tapering, square shaft. On the north face of the shaft, there is a small wreath carved in relief, and the wheel is also designed to resemble a wreath on its north face, with the cross-head carved in relief. The shaft rises from a tapering four-sided plinth, which sits atop a narrow, square block that is chamfered along the top edge. This block includes a fielded panel on the north face that displays a horizontally carved sword in relief. The entire structure is supported by a single-step chamfered base.
On the north face of the plinth, there is an incised dedication that reads: "TO THE GLORIOUS MEMORY OF THOSE PARISHIONERS AND MEMBERS OF ST STEPHEN’S WHO FELL IN THE WAR 1914 – 1919. THEIR NAMES ARE ON THE ROLL OF HONOUR IN THE CHURCH."
