Description
The war memorial, dating from around 1920, is located approximately 6 metres south of the Grade II*-listed church of St John the Baptist, which is situated outside the village. It features a limestone cross on an octagonal shaft, set within an octagonal medieval churchyard cross socket, which may date from the 15th century. This is mounted on a square base with two octagonal steps, also from around 1920. An inscription in raised lettering around the second step reads, "THIS CROSS WAS RESTORED IN MEMORY OF THOSE MEN OF SLIPTON, WHO DIED IN THE GREAT WAR 1914-1919," with the names of the fallen listed below the inscription.
