A brass plaque is fixed to this base; at the top is a crucifix, below which is the inscription ‘S. JOHN THE EVANGELIST. / ROLL OF HONOUR / 1914 - 1918’. The names of those who fell are listed in two columns below this inscription. At the base of the plaque is the text ‘GREATER LOVE HATH NO MAN THAN THIS, THAT A MAN LAY DOWN HIS LIFE FOR HIS FRIENDS. S JOHN X V. VERSE XIII’. The memorial is situated within a small, circular rockery.
