Description

The memorial cross to Lieutenant A.L. Noon is made of granite and is located outside the south entrance of the church, next to a path in the churchyard. This rough-hewn cross features the monogram IHS carved at the center of its arms. The cross shaft rises from an octagonal base with four steps, resembling a churchyard or preaching cross. Inscriptions in applied metal letters are displayed on the front faces of each step.

On the top step, it reads "TO THE GLORY OF GOD." The next step states, "AND IN PROUD AND/ GRATEFUL MEMORY OF/ ALFRED LEWIS NOON/ LIEUTENANT (ACTG. CAPTAIN)/ 2ND BATT. DEVONSHIRE REGT." The following step honors him as "BELOVED YOUNGEST SON OF THE/ REV. A.K. NOON (RECTOR OF THIS/ PARISH) AND MRS NOON,/ WHO DIED APRIL 1ST (EASTER MONDAY)/ 1918 OF WOUNDS RECEIVED WHILST/ LEADING HIS COMPANY AT HAPPLINCOURT/ AGED 20." The bottom step notes, "BURIED IN THE BRITISH CEMETERY. NAMPS-AU-VAL-FRANCE/ 'IN SURE AND CERTAIN HOPE OF THE RESURRECTION/ TO ETERNAL LIFE.'/ R.I.P."
