The cross-head is set on an hexagonal pillar which rises from a square plinth set on a two-stepped octagonal base. On the plinth is inscribed 1914 – 1918/ IN UNDYING MEMORY OF/ THE MEN OF GEDDINGTON/ WHO IN THE GREAT WAR/ GAVE THEIR LIVES FOR US. The inscription ALSO/ 1939-1945 has been added below, to the top step of the base. Nearby, on the outer west wall of the south aisle of the church are three tablets bearing names and additional inscriptions.
The outer concrete path around the memorial is excluded from the listing.
