Details The memorial stands in the churchyard of the Church of St Swithun (Grade I). It consists of a tall stone cross rising from a moulded collar on a tapering octagonal shaft. The shaft stands on a small octagonal pedestal, which is placed on a larger octagonal plinth. Four stone blocks standing on the plinth protrude from alternate faces of the pedestal. The inscriptions on the memorial are incised into the pedestal. The principal dedication reads TO THE GLORY OF GOD/ AND/ IN SACRED MEMORY OF/ THOSE/ WHO FELL IN THE WARS/ 1914 – 1918/ AND/ 1939 – 1945/ THEIR NAME LIVETH/ FOR EVERMORE. The names of the fallen, including their battalion and the details and date of their death, are recorded on the other faces of the pedestal.
