Heritage listing

Details War memorial, erected 1920; re-sited in 2000 and restored in 2014. The war memorial takes the form of a roughly-hewn granite monolith with a pointed top and it is approximately 2m high. The upper part of the E face is dressed and inscribed, in black lettering, with the dedication: THIS MEMORIAL IS DEDICATED / BY RELATIVES / TO THE GLORY OF GOD / AND / TO THE MEMORY OF THEIR DEAR ONES / WHO FELL IN THE GREAT WAR 1914-1920 / “THEIR NAME LIVETH FOR EVERMORE”. Above is a bronze plaque depicting the Lamb of God. Two further dressed areas below the inscription bear the names of the Fallen. The monolith stands upon a stone plinth and is raised above ground level. SUBSIDIARY FEATURES: there is a stone kerb to the N and E of the memorial. To the S is a section of walling topped with railings which was part of the boundary to the former churchyard, and to the rear is a boundary wall to No.23 Chandos Road. Pursuant to s1 (5A) of the Planning (Listed Building and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 (‘the Act’) it is declared that the walls to the rear (W) and S of the war memorial are not of special architectural or historic interest and are not included in the listing.
