Description
The War Memorial, dating from around 1920, is designed in the form of a churchyard cross made of stone. It features a carved figure of Christ crucified on the front of the cross. The cross is set on a triple-stepped base, which in turn rests on a plinth inscribed with the names of those who fell in service. This well-detailed memorial is located next to the Church of All Saints, contributing to a cohesive group with the church.
