Description
The War Memorial in the churchyard of St George's Church is a First World War memorial erected in 1921, designed by W. D. Caröe. It is made of sandstone ashlar and timber.
The memorial features a wooden crucifix that rests on a hexagonal stone plinth, which has a moulded cornice and base, along with alternating recessed sides that display moulded segmental arches. This plinth is supported by a tall hexagonal base with five steps. On the south side of the base, there is a square stone tablet engraved with the inscription: ‘DEDICATED BY THE RV NOEL MELLISH VC WITH PRAYER AND THANKSGIVING FOR THOSE WHO FROM THIS CHURCH AND PARISH OF S. GEORGE THE SOLDIER MARTYR LAID DOWN THEIR LIVES IN THE GREAT WAR: 1914 1918 / LORD ALL PITYING JESU BLEST GRANT THEM THINE ETERNAL REST’, which is followed by the names of the fallen.
