Details MATERIALS: Clipsham stone cross. DESCRIPTION: The war memorial cross is located within the churchyard of the Grade I-listed Holy Trinity Church. It is constructed of Clipsham stone and consists of a Latin cross with shields carved on four sides of the lower shaft representing St Michael, St Nicholas, St George and St Edmund. The cross rises from an octagonal base which has a moulded cornice. The base bears the principal dedicatory inscription in medieval script which reads: TO COMMEMORATE THOSE WHO HAVE PASSED OUT OF THE SIGHT OF MEN BY THE PATH OF DUTY AND SELF-SACRIFICE 1914-1919. LET THOSE WHO COME AFTER SEE TO IT THAT THEIR NAMES BE NOT FORGOTTEN. There is then a two stepped plinth upon which are engraved the 96 names of the fallen from the First World War. The names of the fallen from the Second World War along with the dates 1939 - 1945 appear on the base of the memorial beneath the principal inscription.
