Heritage listing
Details Wheel headed cross on a tall shaft, which sits atop a slightly trapezoidal plinth, all of Portland stone. The front face originally bore an inscription which has since eroded so badly as to be illegible; according to sources it read: THE GREAT WAR 1914 - 1918 / TO THE GREAT AND IMPERISHABLE MEMORY OF / THOSE WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES FOR THE LASTING / WELFARE OF THEIR COUNTRY / LIFT UP YOUR HEARTS: / WE LIFT THEM UP UNTO THE LORD. Over this there is now a metal plaque, which reads: THIS MEMORIAL WAS ERECTED TO / THE MEMORY OF OFFICERS AND MEN / WHO LOST THEIR LIVES IN / THE GREAT WAR / 1914 - 1918 / (THEIR NAMES ARE COMMEMORATED / IN FULL INSIDE THE CHURCH). The plinth rests upon a stone platform. This List entry has been amended to add sources for War Memorials Online and the War Memorials Register. These sources were not used in the compilation of this List entry but are added here as a guide for further reading, 25 July 2017.
