Description
The Portland stone memorial, about 3.3m tall, stands in a prominent position at the intersection of two paths in the churchyard of the Church of St Mary (Grade I). It comprises a Celtic cross with carved interlace patterns decorating the wheel-head. The cross head rises from a tapering cross shaft, standing on a tapering plinth and single-stepped base.
The main inscription in incised and painted lettering, recorded on an inset panel in the front face of the cross shaft, reads IN/ PROUD/ AND/ LOVING/ MEMORY/ OF/ THE/ MEN/ FROM/ THIS/ VILLAGE/ WHO/ GAVE/ THEIR/ LIVES/ IN/ THE/ GREAT/ WAR/ 1914–1918. Fourteen names are recorded on the front face of the plinth, with below on the base GREATER LOVE HATH NO MAN THAN THIS.
