Description

The war memorial is located in a grassed area in the western part of the grounds of the former St Edmund's Church, now known as Salisbury Arts Centre. It features a three-stepped square base topped with a square, shouldered plinth and a limestone Latin cross with a hexagonal tapering shaft. The lowest step includes a shallow cornice for placing wreaths and floral tributes.

On the front face of the plinth, there is a raised carved cross, beneath which is the inscription: "THIS CROSS/ STANDS HERE IN SACRED MEMORY OF/ THOSE WHO WENT FROM THIS/ PARISH AND GAVE THEIR LIVES FOR THEIR/ COUNTRY AND FOR THE WORLD’S FREEDOM/ IN THE WORLD WAR OF 1914 - 1918/ THEIR NAMES ARE EVER RECORDED/ ON THE NATIONAL ROLL OF HONOUR/ THE VICTORY OF BATTLE LANDETH NOT IN THE/ MULTITUDE OF AN HOST BUT STRENGTH COMETH FROM HEAVEN."

The memorial is enclosed by an area defined by low oak posts that once supported a spiked chain.
