Description
The Cornish granite cross stands in the churchyard of the Church of St Mary (Grade II*-listed), overlooking Walton Road. It comprises a rough-hewn wheel-head cross carrying a bronze sword on the front face. The cross-shaft stands on a rough-hewn tapered pedestal. The pedestal has been raised to allow a block of polished granite to be inserted underneath, standing on the original base step below.
The principal dedicatory inscription to the front face of the pedestal reads TO THE GLORY OF GOD/ AND IN MEMORY OF (17 NAMES)/ WHO FELL IN THE GREAT WAR/ 1914 - 1918. Below, the later inscription reads ALSO/ (8 NAMES)/ WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES FOR THEIR COUNTRY/ IN THE WAR 1939 – 1945.
The cross is enclosed by four low concrete posts carrying spiked chains.
