Description
The War Memorial in the churchyard is a First World War memorial, likely erected in the 1920s. It is made of granite and features a Celtic-style cross with a tapering shaft, set into a plinth with a moulded top, and stands on a rectangular base. The front (east) face of the wheelhead has the inscription "FOR THOSE WHO FELL," while the names of the Fallen are inscribed on the plinth below. Additionally, two more names have been added to the south face of the base.
