Pict's Cross War Memorial

The Pict's Cross War Memorial is a war memorial erected around 1920. It is constructed of granite, with incised lettering painted black for the inscriptions.

Located at the south-west corner of the crossroads at Pict’s Cross, the memorial features a large, roughly hewn cross with splayed arms that sits atop a tapered square shaft, which in turn stands on a tapered pedestal.

On the north-east face of the shaft, there is a recessed panel that bears the inscription:

FOR / GOD, KING / AND / COUNTRY / 1914 -1918

The names of the 15 men who died in the First World War are listed on a recessed panel at the dado of the pedestal. Additionally, the central section of the north-east face of the plinth has been cut away to create a sloped panel with the inscription:

1939 – 1945 / (NAMES) / - SELLACK -

The war memorial is accessed via two stone steps and is surrounded on three sides by a snecked stone wall topped with two rows of upright coping stones. The side walls slope down towards the road. On either side of the north-east face of the memorial, there are chamfered stones set at an angle.
