Details A war memorial, erected in 1953, to commemorate those who died in the First World War, and the Second World War. MATERIALS Concrete, with stone wall and bronze plaques. DESCRIPTION The memorial comprises a concrete Latin cross approximately 3m high, with a sword of sacrifice in relief to the cross head, on a tapering square-sectioned shaft with moulded foot, on a two-tiered polygonal base which would be octagonal if it protruded through, rather than stopped at, the rear supporting wall. The plinth bears the inscriptions on affixed bronze plaques. The inscriptions read: THESE DIED IN WAR/ THAT WE AT PEACE MIGHT LIVE/ THESE GAVE THEIR BEST./ SO WE OUR BEST SHOULD GIVE// NAMES OF THE FALLEN/ 1914 - 1918/ (NAMES)// 1939 - 1945/ (NAMES). SUBSIDIARY FEATURES The memorial sits within a local stone enclosure with a two-stepped platform leading to the cross.
