Description

The approximately 2.5m tall war memorial stands in the lawn outside the Grade II-listed Wall and Gates to the Grade I-listed Church of St Mary Magdalene, in front of the Grade II-listed School House and Brook Farmhouse. It takes the form of an obelisk, square on plan, in rough-hewn grey granite. The obelisk stands on a chamfered pedestal and base.

A panel cut back into the front face of the pedestal bears the inscription in applied metal lettering, reading 1914 + 1919/ IN HONOURED MEMORY OF/ THE MEN OF THIS PARISH/ WHO LAID DOWN THEIR LIVES IN/ THE GREAT WAR/ (3 NAMES). The names are recorded with rank and service, regiment, or corps.
