Description
The limestone war memorial cross stands on the southern edge of the churchyard of the Church of All Saints (Grade I-listed). It comprises a Latin cross-head on a collared cross shaft, octagonal in section. The shaft rises from a two-stage plinth, square on plan, that stands on a large base. The lower stage of the plinth is formed of limestone ashlar, with knapped facing flints visible on three sides. The base is formed of flint cobbles with a stone cap.
The principal dedicatory inscription is recorded on the front face of the shouldered upper stage of the plinth. It reads REMEMBER/ THOSE/ WHO DIED/ FOR KING AND COUNTRY/ 1914 1919. The commemorated First World War names are listed on the other faces. The Second World War dedication, to the front face of the lower stage of the plinth, reads 1939 1945/ (NAMES).
