Heritage listing
Details The limestone memorial is located in the churchyard of the Church of All Saints (Grade I-listed). It comprises a bottonée cross-head on a tall, octagonal, shaft. The cross shaft rises from a pedestal, octagonal on plan, that stands on a four-stepped base. The uppermost step is square on plan, whilst the three below are octagonal (squares with chamfered corners). The pedestal bears the inscriptions in incised and painted lettering. The principal dedication to the front face of the pedestal reads IN GRATEFUL/ MEMORY OF/ THE MEN OF/ THIS PARISH/ WHO LAID/ DOWN THEIR/ LIVES IN THE/ GREAT WAR/ 1914 - 1918. The commemorated names are listed on the other faces, and include each person’s regiment. A small rectangular plaque is placed on the second step of the base, with an inscription reading 1939 – 1945/ (3 NAMES).
