Description
MATERIALS: Rowsley sandstone.
DESCRIPTION: the war memorial comprises a Latin cross surmounting a shaft with a Sword of Sacrifice carved in relief onto its front face.
The cross rises from a tapered stone plinth which bears a bronze plaque with the names of the 21 men from the village who fell in the First World War and the 12 who fell in the Second World War. The plinth is set on a square base, which stands on a stone step above the level of the paved enclosure.
The inscription on the plaque reads: THE GLORIOUS DEAD/ 1914 – 1919/ (NAMES)/ 1939 – 1945/ (NAMES).
The memorial stands in a raised stone-paved, semi-circular enclosure, accessed by two steps. The enclosure is defined by a low stone wall as a backdrop with iron railings at the front furnished with decorative entrance gates.
