Description
The Portland stone memorial stands in the churchyard to the south-east of the Church of St Andrew (Grade I-listed). It comprises a small ornately carved wheel-head cross rising from the moulded top of a tapering pyramidal shaft, that stands on an elaborately carved plinth. The plinth stands on a simple base. The sides of the shaft are ornamented by carved panels on each face. The plinth is also elaborately decorated with blind arches forming recessed panels for the inscriptions, and crocketted corners.
The main inscription in incised and black-painted lettering on the east face of the plinth reads: IN/ HONOURED AND GRATEFUL/ MEMORY OF/ THE MEN OF COTTON/ WHO DIED FOR THEIR COUNTRY/ IN THE GREAT WAR,/ 1914–1919,/ AND AS A THANK-OFFERING TO/ GOD FOR VICTORY AND PEACE/ (on base) THEIR NAME LIVETH FOR EVER MORE. The names of the fallen are recorded on the other faces of the plinth.
The memorial is enclosed by a low ornamental iron rail carried around all four sides.
