Description
The Elton Memorial Cross is located in the south-east corner of the churchyard of the Grade II*-listed church of All Saints. This war memorial stands approximately 5 meters high and is made of pale grey granite. It features rope decoration in relief that runs up the sides of the square-sectioned shaft and around the wheel-head. The memorial is set on a short, tapering plinth that rests on a three-stage, stepped, octagonal base.
The inscription on the plinth reads "TO THE GLORY OF GOD AND IN PROUD AND GRATEFUL MEMORY OF THE MEN OF ELTON WHO FELL IN THE GREAT WAR 1914-1918." The names of the fallen soldiers are inscribed on the sides of the plinth, and there is an additional inscription at the rear commemorating one man lost in the Second World War.
