Description
The Walgrave Memorial Cross is a limestone war memorial approximately 5 meters high, located on Lower Green at the east end of High Street. It features a wheel-head cross positioned atop a substantial, square-sectioned, tapering stone pillar. This pillar rests on a stone plinth that includes metal lettered inscriptions.
On the west face, the inscription reads: "IN GRATEFUL MEMORY OF OUR FELLOW PARISHIONERS WHO FELL IN THE GREAT WAR 1914 – 1919." The north face lists the phrase "THESE DIED FOR US" followed by 13 names. The east face states: "IN GRATEFUL REMEMBRANCE OF ALL WHO FOUGHT, SUFFERED AND LABOURED FOR PEACE." The south face also features the phrase "THESE DIED FOR US," along with 12 names.
Additionally, there is a separate panel on the south side of the plinth, below the list of 12 names, inscribed with "1939-1945" and 6 names. The plinth is set upon a two-stepped square base, and the memorial is enclosed by iron railings.
