Description
The limestone memorial comprises a Latin cross with moulded cross-arms rising from a tall, tapering, octagonal shaft. The foot of the cross is encircled by a crown. The cross shaft stands on a square plinth with a chamfered top, set on a square single-stepped base.
The front face of the plinth bears an inscription that reads THEY/ GAVE THEIR LIVES/ FOR US/ 1914 – 1918. The names of those 10 local servicemen who fell in the First World War are incised into the flanking sides of the plinth.
The memorial stands in the southern part of the churchyard of the Grade I-listed Church of St Peter ad Vincula.
