Description
The memorial stands in the churchyard, to the north-east of the Church of All Saints (Grade I). It comprises a plain Latin cross on a tapering plinth, with a two-stepped base. The cross and plinth are of red Aberdeen granite, and the base is of concrete. The memorial is enclosed by low iron posts and rails, ornamented with an oval to each side containing a cross, forming a square around its base.
The main inscription in leaded lettering on the front face of the cross reads TO THE/ GLORY/ OF/ GOD/ AND IN LOVING MEMORY OF/ OUR DEAR ONES/ WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES/ FOR/ KING/ AND/ COUNTRY/ IN/ THE/ GREAT/ WAR/ 1914/ –/ 1918. The names of 16 servicemen are recorded on the front face of the plinth.
A further inscription in leaded lettering on the west face of the plinth reads ALSO/ THE MEN WHO FELL/ IN THE WORLD WAR/ 1939 – 1945/ (2 NAMES). A small brass plaque is fixed to the upper step of the base.
