War memorial in St John's churchyard

This is a stone war memorial dating to around 1920, designed by Temple Moore. It stands on the north-eastern section of the boundary wall of St John’s Church. The memorial consists of a balustrade topped by a central shaft and cross. The balustrade, approximately 12 metres long and running east to west, is formed of double-vase balusters which are about 1.5 metres high and supported by five rectangular piers. Four of these piers are inscribed with the names of the fallen from the First World War; the first two piers record 44 names, and the western two record 45 names, with no ranks listed. The central pier features the motto "PRO PATRIA" (for country) carved in relief within a garland of laurel leaves. Below the balustrade is a stone string course inscribed with the Roman numerals VCVXIV-VCVXVIII, indicating the years 1914-1918. A chamfered and moulded base supports the shaft, which narrows as it rises to form a simple cross.
