Description
The memorial stands in a small enclosure defined to the rear by a low stone wall and to the front by chains supported on two stone piers. It is a 2.5m high limestone Latin cross with a small wreath carved on the face of the cross head. The cross shaft rises from a small pyramidal support on a square, plinth which stands on a two-stage stepped octagonal base.
On the front of the plinth in raised lettering is IN GRATEFUL MEMORY/ OF THE MEN OF THIS/ PARISH WHO DIED/ FOR THEIR COUNTRY/1914 1918. The other three faces carry the names of those who died. An inscription in similar style on the pyramid on top of the plinth reads AND ALSO/ (NAME)/ 1939 – 1945 WAR.
