Heritage listing
Details The grey granite war memorial stands in the churchyard of the Church of All Saints (Grade II*-listed), close to the church’s south wall. It comprises a about 2m tall rough-hewn wheel-head cross standing on a tapering plinth. The plinth is raised on a granite step, square on plan, on a concrete foundation. The plinth bears the inscriptions in applied metal lettering. A small granite tablet recording the Second World War names was added at the foot of the memorial. The principal dedicatory inscription to the west face of the plinth reads TO THE GLORY OF GOD/ AND IN/ MEMORY OF THOSE WHO/ GAVE THEIR LIVES FOR/ THIS COUNTRY IN THE/ GREAT WAR 1914 – 1918. The seven commemorated First World War names are listed on the front face. The later inscription on the Second World War tablet reads 1939 - 1945/ (3 NAMES).
