Description

The memorial stands in the churchyard of the Church of St Luke (Grade II), close to the entrance on Burpham Lane. It takes the form of a rough-hewn granite cross, rising from a tapering plinth. That stands on a low step. The memorial is enclosed by a low kerb defining a small square area.

Small panels at the foot of the cross shaft to the front and rear are inscribed TO THE/ GLORY OF GOD/ AND with the principal inscriptions below on the plinth. To the front the principal inscription reads IN HONOURED MEMORY OF/ THE MEN OF THIS PARISH/ WHO FELL IN THE GREAT WAR/ 1914 – 18/ (18 NAMES), with to the rear IN HONOURED MEMORY OF/ THE MEN OF THIS PARISH/ WHO FELL IN THE GREAT WAR/ 1939 – 45/ (11 NAMES).
