Description

The war memorial is made of dressed stone and features a Celtic cross on a tall splayed shaft. The square base displays the names of those who died in the 1914-18 war, engraved and painted black. Below this is a stepped plinth, where the names of individuals who lost their lives in the 1939-45 war are also engraved and painted black on the upper step.
