Description
First World War memorial, 1922.
MATERIALS: constructed from Aberdeen granite.
PLAN: located at the south-west corner of the churchyard of the Church of All Saints.
DESCRIPTION: the memorial comprises a cross within a laurel wreath, atop a tapering square shaft on a substantial square plinth and single-stepped base. It is set within a small enclosure formed by a brick wall and is approached from the south-west via four paved steps.
The main inscription in leaded lettering on the south-west face of the plinth reads: ‘ERECTED IN MEMORY OF / THE MEN OF THIS PARISH / WHO FOUGHT AND DIED / FOR KING, COUNTRY, LIBERTY / AND JUSTICE / IN THE GREAT WAR / 1914-1918 / GREATER LOVE HATH NO / MAN THAN THIS, / THAT A MAN LAY DOWN / HIS LIFE FOR HIS FRIEND / JOHN: XV, 13’. The names of the 17 men who died in the First World War are on the north-west and south-east faces of the plinth, and in 2019 the name of a nurse was added.
Additional inscriptions commemorate the lives lost in the Second World War and the war in Afghanistan.
