DESCRIPTION: the memorial is a 4m high Celtic cross with an elongated shaft. It stands on a tapered four-sided plinth. The cross has raised edges and a central round boss. The plinth rests on a square base with a bevelled top edge. The base stands on two rough-hewn square steps. The main inscription on the north-west face of the plinth reads: TO THE/ GLORY OF GOD/ AND IN MEMORY OF/ THE MEN OF THIS PARISH/ WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES/ FOR THEIR COUNTRY/ 1914-1918. The names of the 37 fallen parishioners are listed on the other three faces of the plinth. On the north-western bevelled top edge of the base is the additional inscription ‘1939 – 1945’. Below that on the main face of the base are the 10 names of those who fell in the Second World War. A rectangular stone vase on the bottom step bears the inscription: IN MEMORIAM.
