Description

This is a war memorial dedicated to those who fought in the First and Second World Wars, built around 1920. It is made of Portland stone and features a semicircular enclosure defined by low stone bollards and a kerb. There are two memorial slabs that list the names of the fallen. The memorial includes a stepped plinth that supports a tall cross, which has a sword carved on its south side.
