Description
The memorial stands in the grounds of the Church of St Barnabas facing Homerton High Street. The wheel-head cross rises from a tapering shaft, set on a tapering plinth. The front face of the cross and the top half of the shaft are elaborately decorated with Celtic knot-work carvings. The whole stands on a stone step, set into a square-shaped flower bed area demarcated by short stone walls and pillars.
The principal dedicatory inscription on the front face of the plinth reads TO THE LASTING GLORY / AND REMEMBRANCE / OF THE HEROES BELONGING / TO THIS CHURCH & PARISH / WHO GAVE UP THEIR LIVES / IN THE GREAT WAR 1914 - 1918 / ERECTED BY PUBLIC SUBSCRIPTION.
