Description
The War Memorial, dating from around 1920, is designed in the form of a calvary featuring a simple wooden cross and a bronze hanging figure of Christ. Above this, there is a wooden and tiled gabled weatherhood. The memorial stands on a rectangular stone plinth with a moulded top and base, which is set on a circular step. On the north side, there is an inscription that reads, "IN MEMORY OF THOSE FROM THIS PARISH WHO LAID DOWN THEIR LIVES IN THE GREAT WAR 1914-1919." The names of the fallen are inscribed on the other faces of the memorial. Originally, the memorial's Roll of Honour was inscribed on the adjoining north wall of the stairs of St John's Church, but this has since been separated from the plinth and stairs due to demolition following bomb damage.
