Description

The c4.5m tall Portland stone memorial cross stands on the south side of Goldington Green, opposite Goldington Green Lower School (unlisted), and c170m south-east of Goldington Hall (Grade II-listed). It takes the form of a Latin cross with a tapering shaft, rising from a tapering pedestal.

The front (south) face of the cross-head bears the inscription 1914/ IN MEMORIAM/ 1919 carved in relief. A large bronze wreath is fixed to the front of the cross-head. Names are listed in recessed panels at the foot of the cross-shaft to the east, south, and west faces. Set within a recessed panel on the south face of the pedestal is the inscription 1939 – 1945/ (17 NAMES).

The memorial stands on a raised paved platform enclosed by a low wall and with shallow steps to the south providing access to the cross.
