Heritage listing
Details The memorial is located in the middle of the green in the junction of Sycamore Road, Laburnum Road and Willow Road, standing on a small lawn enclosed by a low octagonal hedge and path. Openings in the north and south of the hedge permit access to the memorial, where two litter bins have been placed (the litter bins are not of special interest). The tall memorial in Weldon stone comprises a lantern cross. A small stone sphere surmounts the four-sided lantern. Each face of the lantern is ornamented with an intricate blind Gothic arch. The lantern rises from a narrow, tapering, octagonal shaft. That stands on an octagonal plinth and a two-stepped, octagonal, base. The principal dedicatory inscription, on one face of the plinth, reads REMEMBER/ 1914-1919. This is carved in relief. The commemorated names are incised into three of the plinth’s other faces.
