Description
The war memorial cross is situated to the south of the Grade I-listed Parish Church of St Lawrence and close to the Grade II*-listed The Cloisters, as well as several Grade II-listed buildings along Bridge Street.
This memorial features a stone wheel-head cross, which is adorned with intricately carved interlace patterns on the south face of both the cross-head and shaft. The cross shaft rises from a tapering square plinth that sits atop a two-stepped square base. All lettering on the memorial is incised.
The main dedicatory inscription on the south face of the plinth reads: "IN MEMORY/ OF THOSE FROM THE PARISHES/ OF ST LAWRENCE & ST MICHAEL/ WHO FELL IN THE GREAT WAR./ 1914 - 1918./ 'THEIR NAME LIVETH FOR EVERMORE'." Fifty-one names of the commemorated individuals are inscribed on the other faces of the plinth, with one soldier’s name noted on the north face of the upper step of the base.
