The war memorial, built around 1920, is constructed from Portland stone. It features a round moulded plinth consisting of three steps. The base is cross-shaped with concave sides and includes inscribed panels on each side. Atop the base is a Roman Doric column with a moulded capital, a bronze tablet, and a cross.
