Description
The Tockenham War Memorial is located at the northern end of Primrose Hill, south of the A3102. It faces south and features a short, finely-carved granite wheel-head cross in the Celtic style. The front of the cross is adorned with a relief-carved reversed sword. It stands on a rough-hewn square plinth, which has a recessed panel on the front displaying the inscription.
The plinth is elevated by a tall and wide five-stepped stone base. The entire structure is set on a paved area that is enclosed at the back by a coped rubble-stone wall. Each end of this wall is capped with a slightly lower pier made of dressed stone.
The inscription on the front face of the plinth is in incised lettering painted black, reading "1914 – 1918/ (6 NAMES)/ ALSO SERVED/ (10 NAMES)." The six names of the men who died are framed by a rectangle outlined with incised and black-painted lines.
