Description
The War Memorial at the Church of St Andrew is a granite wheeled cross featuring a carved sword. The bottom of the cross shaft has an inscription in black lettering that reads: 1939 / --- / 1945. This cross stands on a large plinth, which has a severely eroded inscription on the front that states: TO THE GLORY OF GOD / AND IN LOVING MEMORY OF THE MEN OF / ST ANDREW'S CHURCH AND PARISH / WHO FELL IN THE GREAT WAR / 1914 - 1918 / THEY BRAVELY DIED THAT WE MIGHT LIVE / THEIR NAMES ARE INSCRIBED ON A TABLET ON THIS CHURCH / ETERNAL REST GRANT UNTO THEM O LORD / AND LET ETERNAL LIGHT SHINE UPON THEM. The plinth is supported by a two-step base.
