Description
The war memorial, dating from around 1920, is constructed of stone and features bronze inscription panels. It consists of a cross raised on three octagonal steps, with a square base supported by four scrolled brackets. The shaft of the cross is chamfered, and the lantern head is finely carved with figures depicting the Virgin and Child, St George, St Michael, and the Crucifixion.
