Details The monument takes the form of a stone memorial cross, with an octagonal shaft and base, standing on an octagonal plinth with four steps. The lower part of the shaft is broader, with steeply pitched gables on each face. Set beneath one of the gables to the east side is a niche, with a small bronze statue of St George by the artist Philip Jackson. This was installed in 2000, the fate of the original sculpture is unknown. Beneath the sculpture, carved into the stone is the following inscription: TO THE GLORY OF GOD AND IN MEMORY OF THOSE WHO/ LEAVING THIS PARISH DURING THE GREAT WAR DIED FOR/ THEIR COUNTRY/ WE OF LYNCH DEDICATE THIS CROSS. To either side are the names of ten fallen. On the west side is a single name, fallen during the Second World War.
