Description
The war memorial cross is located in the small square at the east end of the Anglican Church of All Saints, near the High Street. It features a Calvary cross made of Bromsgrove sandstone, with a sculpted figure of Christ crucified under a canopy, elevated on an octagonal shaft. The front face of the foot of the cross shaft has the inscription "HE SAVED/ OTHERS/ NOT HIMSELF." The shaft is set on a square plinth with moulded shoulders, which is raised on a base of three octagonal steps.
On the front face of the plinth, there is an incised inscription that reads: "IN/ GRATEFUL MEMORY/ OF THE MEN OF THIS PARISH/ WHO FELL IN THE GREAT WARS/ 1914 - 1918/ 1939 - 1945/ THEIR LIVES LAID DOWN/ FOR LOVE OF GOD, OF COUNTRY AND OF KING,/ A VICTOR'S CROWN/ GAINED AS ON CALVARY THROUGH SUFFERING."
