Heritage listing
Details The Portland stone memorial, about 3.3m tall, stands in a prominent position at the intersection of two paths in the churchyard of the Church of St Mary (Grade I). It comprises a Celtic cross with carved interlace patterns decorating the wheel-head. The cross head rises from a tapering cross shaft, standing on a tapering plinth and single-stepped base. The main inscription in incised and painted lettering, recorded on an inset panel in the front face of the cross shaft, reads IN/ PROUD/ AND/ LOVING/ MEMORY/ OF/ THE/ MEN/ FROM/ THIS/ VILLAGE/ WHO/ GAVE/ THEIR/ LIVES/ IN/ THE/ GREAT/ WAR/ 1914–1918. Fourteen names are recorded on the front face of the plinth, with below on the base GREATER LOVE HATH NO MAN THAN THIS. This List entry has been amended to add the source for War Memorials Online.
