Constructed of Portland stone, the memorial features leaded lettering. It consists of a wheel-cross with a tapering shaft and a square plinth, set on a three-stepped square base. The arms and shaft on the north face of the cross are adorned with relief-carved interlace. The main inscription in leaded lettering on the north face of the plinth reads "IN GRATEFUL/ REMEMBRANCE OF/ (NAMES)/ WHO DIED FOR THEIR KING & COUNTRY/ AND ALSO OF ALL OTHER MEN OF/ SALWARPE WHO FOUGHT IN THE GREAT WAR/ AND (NAME)," while the upper step of the base is inscribed with "1914-1918." The west face of the plinth includes the inscription "(NAME)/ CHAPLAIN R.N.V.R/ RECTOR OF THIS PARISH/ 1935 - 1943," and the upper step of the base reads "1939-1945."
