Details War memorial, 1921. The builder was F K Howell. MATERIAL: the main part of the memorial is of granite; the lowest block is of stone from Tytherington quarry.

The faces of the plinth carry smoothed rectangular panels to bear the raised brass lettering of the inscriptions. The inscription on the south face reads: ‘To the glory of God in thankfulness for Victory and Peace. And in ever living thankfulness for the men of this parish who gave their lives for their king and country in the European War 1914-1918 and whose names are inscribed hereon.’ The west and east sides carry the names of the First World War dead, with those who died in the Second World War are added on the north face.
