Description

The War Memorial at the Church of St Thomas the Apostle is a First World War memorial, unveiled around 1920, with additions for the Second World War. It is made of sandstone and has a square plan.

Located in the churchyard, approximately 4 meters northwest of the nave, the memorial features a simple Latin cross design. It consists of a two-step base, a cruciform plinth with gabled caps, and a tall shaft that tapers in an octagonal section, topped by a Latin cross head set above a moulded knop.

On the northwest face of the plinth, there is a plaque inscribed with the First World War dedication, which reads: 'TO THE / GLORY OF GOD / AND / IN MEMORY / OF / THE MEN FROM THIS / CHURCH AND PARISH, / WHO FELL / IN THE GREAT WAR / 1914-1918. / DYING, AND BEHOLD WE LIVE'. The other faces of the plinth display plaques listing the names of the men who died, arranged in alphabetical order. One of the name plaques has been removed due to damage and is currently stored in the church. The plaque on the southeast face commemorates those who died in the Second World War.
