Description

The c3m high war memorial stands within a grassed enclosure on the roadside in the centre of the village, enclosed by a chain which is supported by low stone bollards. The limestone memorial comprises a two-stepped square base and small plinth, surmounted by an octagonal shaft and Latin cross fleury.

The front face of the plinth is inscribed THIS/ MONUMENT IS ERECTED/ IN REMEMBRANCE AND GRATITUDE/ TO THOSE MEN OF/ TOLLARD ROYAL AND RUSHMORE/ WHO GAVE THEIR ALL/ FOR KING, FOR HONOUR AND FOR COUNTRY/ AND/ MAY THEIR DEEDS INSPIRE US TO HIGHER THINGS/ THEIR NAMES LIVE FOR EVERMORE. The names of those who fell are inscribed on two sides of the plinth, leaving the fourth face blank.
