Description
The war memorial stands in the southern part of the churchyard of the church of St Laurence (Grade I). Overall c5m tall and of sandstone, it comprises a Latin cross (with crown of thorns to centre) on a tapering octagonal shaft. That is set on a small square plinth, itself standing on a stepped, four-stage octagonal base (the lowest stage of concrete).
On the front of the plinth is inscribed in raised lettering THE GREAT WAR/ 1914 – 1918/ THEIR NAME SHALL LIVE/ FOR EVER MORE. 1939 – 1945 has been added in the same style beneath, on the moulded foot of the base of the plinth. The names of the fallen from the First World War are recorded on the side panels, with the names of those lost in the Second World War running around the moulded foot.
