War Memorial In South Churchyard Wall Of Church Of All Saints

The war memorial located in the south churchyard wall of the Church of All Saints is a First World War memorial, constructed around 1920 and altered in 1946. Made of Portland stone, it features a bronze plaque insert. The memorial is designed in a Perpendicular style and stands on two stone steps with an octagonal plan. The main structure is an octagonal stone drum adorned with finials on the buttresses and a crocketed ogee arch with a cinquefoiled head on each side, each containing a bronze plaque. It has a crenellated cornice and a tent-like top that rises to a small octagonal drum, which is decorated with a cornice featuring Tudor-flower ornament and trefoil-headed panels. This drum supports a tapering octagonal cross shaft, which has a cross with four major trefoiled arms and four minor diagonal arms with smaller trefoil terminations. The memorial is set within a recess of the low south churchyard wall, which has stone coping and wrought-iron railings enclosing three bronze plaques (one of which is missing) that commemorate the Second World War.
