Streetly War Memorial Cross Outside All Saints' Church

Heritage listing

Details The Portland stone memorial stands in the churchyard, to the west of All Saints’ Church. It comprises the figure of Christ crucified on a large wheel-head cross. The cross rises from a pedestal with a shallow two-stepped base, that stands on two steps and a concrete base. An inscription on the front face of the cross shaft, below the crucifixion, reads 1939 - 1945/ (15 NAMES). Below this on the pedestal a wreath carved in relief encloses the dates 1939 – 1945 and a small stone plaque on the pedestal base reads GREATER LOVE/ HATH NO MAN THAN THIS. A similar wreath to the rear of the pedestal encloses 1914 – 1918 and the names of 26 local servicemen who died in the First World War are listed on the side faces.
