Description
The memorial bus shelter, built shortly after the Second World War, serves as a war memorial. It is made of cut and squared Purbeck stone rubble, arranged in courses, and features a thatched roof.
The shelter has a hexagonal shape and stands on a concrete base. Its walls are constructed from local rubble stone, and the roof is hipped. There is a doorway at the front and four openings in the side walls. To the right of the doorway, within a stone surround, is a small inset stone tablet inscribed in black lettering: "IN MEMORY OF / DAVID PARRY-JONES / 1ST BT THE RIFLE BRIGADE / KILLED IN ACTION / IN FRANCE / 3RD AUGUST 1944." The tablet also includes the insignia of the Rifle Brigade. The rear wall of the shelter has no openings, and inside, there is a timber bench.
