Description

The war memorial, designer unknown, was constructed around 1921 and is located in the churchyard of the Church of St Mary. It is made from hammered stone and stands on a stone-built platform.

The memorial features a wheel cross with a tapering shaft, set on a moulded base atop the platform. The front face of the base has an inscription that reads: "TO THE GLORY OF GOD AND IN HONOURED MEMORY OF THE MEN FROM THIS PARISH WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES FOR KING AND COUNTRY IN THE GREAT WAR 1914-1918," followed by the names of the Fallen. The opposite face of the base bears a similar inscription: "TO THE GLORY OF GOD AND IN HONOURED MEMORY OF THE MEN FROM THIS PARISH WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES FOR KING AND COUNTRY IN THE SECOND GREAT WAR 1939-1945," along with the names of those who died in that conflict.
