Description

It is made of Portland stone and is located in the north-west extension of the churchyard of St Peter's Church.

Below this is a wide base. The pedestal includes inscriptions in relief carved lettering. The inscription reads: ERECTED 1920/ IN/ LOVING MEMORY OF GLENFIELD MEN/ WHO/ GAVE THEIR LIVES IN THE GREAT WAR/ 1914 - 1918/ THESE LAID THE WORLD AWAY,/ POURED OUT THE RED SWEET WINE OF YOUTH,/ GAVE UP THE YEARS TO BE OF WORK AND JOY.// (NAMES).
