MATERIALS: built of Cotswold stone.

The war memorial has a pedestal with a square plinth and an octagonal dado with stepped stops, and is surmounted by a tapered octagonal shaft with a cross. The cross is covered by a stone canopy. The west face of the cross has a relief carving of the crucifixion of Christ, and the east face has a relief carving of the Madonna and Child.
There is a recessed band around the top of the dado with the inscription in relief-carved lettering:

The names of the five men are carved towards the base of the dado. There is the added inscription RESTORED / 1995 to one of the steps of the platform.
