Description

The war memorial is a cross constructed from local limestone, likely dating from after the First World War. The memorial consists of a cross with an incised cross shape featuring slightly flared terminals to the arms. It stands upon a tapering octagonal column, which is topped by a flaring collar and a simply-moulded base. This sits on a square plinth. The south face of the plinth bears the inscription "PRAISING GOD FOR THE / VALOUR OF ENGLAND THIS / STONE OF REMEMBRANCE / IS RAISED TO HONOUR THE / MEN OF THIS PARISH & ALL / THOSE WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES / IN THE GREAT WAR 1914-1919," in a simple upper-case font with a hanging initial capital. The remaining faces of the plinth are blank, as the names of those who died are recorded on a Roll of Honour inside the church. The plinth is set upon a platform of three steps.
