Description
The Ravensthorpe Memorial Cross is located next to the tower of the church of St Denys. This memorial is a sturdy, 2.5-meter tall limestone cross featuring a simple wheel head on an octagonal shaft. The shaft rises from a square plinth that is set on a shallow octagonal base. Each corner of the plinth is adorned with a narrow, blind lancet.
The plinth has inscriptions carved into three of its side panels. On the west side, it reads: "HE DIED FOR US./ GREATER LOVE./ THEY DIED/ FOR THEIR COUNTRY./ 1914-1919." The east side states: "WORLD WAR 1939-1945/ THESE MEN GAVE/ THEIR LIVES" followed by two names. The south side lists nine names.
Additionally, a metal plaque is attached to the north side of the plinth, inscribed with "FALKLANDS 1982" and one name.
