Description
The Tilney All Saints War Memorial Cross is a tall stone structure located in front of the south wall of the Church of All Saints, which is a Grade I-listed building. It is surrounded by several Grade II-listed buildings and churchyard monuments. The memorial features a stone wheel-head cross fleury that rises from the collar of a slender octagonal cross shaft. On the front face of the collar, there is a carved shield displaying the monogram IHS. The cross shaft is set on a small shouldered pedestal, which has a square base and is positioned on a two-step octagonal plinth. Slate panels are set into the sides of the pedestal.
The main dedicatory inscription on the front face of the pedestal reads: "TO THE GLORY OF GOD AND IN GRATEFUL MEMORY OF THOSE WHO WENT OUT FROM THIS PARISH AND LAID DOWN THEIR LIVES FOR US." The names of those commemorated are listed on one side of the pedestal under the dates 1914 – 1918, while the names of three individuals from the Second World War are listed on the opposite side under the dates 1939 – 1945.
