The cornice is decorated with a frieze of carved rosettes. The plinth stands on a three-stepped base. The principal dedicatory inscription is incised to the front face of the cross shaft, at the foot, reading TO THE/ GLORY OF GOD/ AND IN LOVING/ AND GRATEFUL/ MEMORY OF/ THOSE WHO FOR/ COUNTRY/ FOR HOME AND/ FOR US GAVE/ THEIR LIVES/ IN THE/ GREAT WAR/ 1914 – 1919. The commemorated names are carved on the eight faces of the plinth. This List entry has been amended to add the source for War Memorials Online.
