Heritage listing
Details The war memorial, of Derbyshire stone, stands on a small green at the north end of the estate village, outside the Falcon Hotel (Grade II). It is a tall, freestanding, cross, the crosshead with lobed ends set on an octagonal shaft. This rises from a square plinth on a three-stepped base. The inscriptions are carried on grey stone tablets set into the plinth. The principal inscription reads TO THE GLORY OF ENGLAND/ AND TO THOSE OF THIS PARISH/ WHO SERVED THEIR COUNTRY/ IN THE WAR 1914 – 1919./ ERECTED BY THE PARISHIONERS. The commemorated names are listed on the other three plaques, grouped by those killed in action, those wounded, and the rest who served. This List entry has been amended to add sources for War Memorials Online and the War Memorials Register.
