The cross is mounted on a tapered shaft, which stands on a rectangular plinth. The front of the plinth has an incised inscription in black lettering that reads: "IN MEMORY OF/ (NAMES)/ OF THIS PARISH/ WHO DIED ON ACTIVE SERVICE/ IN THE GREAT WAR/ 1914 – 1918." The east side of the plinth includes the inscription: "WORLD WAR II/ 1939 – 1945/ (NAME AND REGIMENT)/ WE WILL REMEMBER."
The memorial is positioned on a three-stepped base, with the upper step displaying the inscription: "YE HAVE ENTERED INTO THEIR LABOURS." It is surrounded by a paved area enclosed by a low stone wall and metal railings. The access steps are not considered of special interest and are not included in the listing.
