Details War memorial, designed by Wilfrid Bond of Grantham, unveiled in 1920, dedicated to the fallen of the First World War. The limestone war memorial takes the form of an octagonal pillar on an octagonal base, and three-stepped octagonal platform, surmounted by a carved stone crucifix. The memorial is approximately 6m in height and 1.8m in width. The accompanying plaque on the nearby east elevation of the Church of St Peter is inscribed and painted with gold lettering, and reads: ‘THE CHURCHYARD CROSS WAS ERECTED AND A PEAL OF BELLS / PUT IN THE CHURCHTOWER TO COMMEMORATE THE BRAVE / MEN WHO DIED FOR US IN THE GREAT WAR A.D. 1914 – 1918 / AND WHOSE SACRIFICE SHOULD NEVER BE FORGOTTEN / [99 NAMES] / GRANT THEM LORD ETERNAL REST’. The memorial stands within a segmental forecourt approximately 6m east of the Church of St Peter (1864 by James Fowler, listed at Grade II), and to the west side of St Peter’s Avenue.
