Description

The War Memorial is made of granite ashlar and features Portland stone plaques. It is located at the top of four wide stone steps and is designed as a stone bench, flanked by oak 'squeeze' stiles that mark the path to the church. The bench includes arms and a back that holds an inscribed plaque. Above this, there is another plaque with flanking pilasters and an arched top, which lists the names of those who fell in World War I and World War II.
