Heritage listing
Details First World War memorial, thought to have been erected in 1922. The memorial stands on the east side of Ecchinswell Road, opposite the village hall. MATERIALS: rough-hewn granite, with lead lettering. DESCRIPTION: the memorial takes the form of a Latin cross rising from a tapered plinth on a shallow base. To the west, the base of the cross shaft has a circular recessed panel with a small cross and the dates and initials ‘1914-1919/ RIP’ in lead. On the plinth below, the granite is smoothed to take the names of the 21 men lost in the First World War. The names of the five men lost in the Second World War fallen are listed in lead lettering within a recessed panel on the east face of the plinth under the dates ‘1939-1945’. The square plot within which the war memorial stands is now enclosed by a shallow kerb.
