Description
The granite memorial cross is located on a green at the junction of Dawlish Road and Church Road, north of the Church of St Michael, which is listed at Grade II*. It is also near several other Grade II-listed structures. The cross is a tall, plain Latin cross that rises from a low, square pedestal. This pedestal is set on a three-stepped, octagonal base. A small cross shape is inset into the top of the cross. The front face of the pedestal features a dedicatory inscription in applied metal letters, which reads: "1914 - 1919 1939 - 1945/ THIS ANCIENT CROSS/ WAS RESTORED TO THE GLORY OF GOD IN/ MEMORY OF OUR BRAVE MEN WHO DIED/ FOR THEIR KING AND COUNTRY 1914 – 1919."
