The north face of the plinth bears the incised inscription: ERECTED TO THE / MEMORY OF THE MEN / OF THIS PARISH WHO / FELL IN THE GREAT WAR 1914-1918 / followed by the names of the six fallen and THEIR NAME WILL LIVE FOR EVERMORE. The east and west faces read THE FOLLOWING / MEN SERVED IN THE / GREAT WAR followed by the names of those who served and returned.
