Heritage listing
Details The war memorial stands on the green, approximately 260m to the south-west of the Church of All Saints (Grade I-listed). It comprises a stone Latin cross with a tapering shaft (octagonal in section). The moulded foot of the cross shaft rises from a pedestal, square on plan, that stands on a two-stepped octagonal base. The principal dedicatory inscription to the front face of the pedestal reads TO THE GLORY OF GOD/ AND IN GRATEFUL MEMORY/ OF THE MEN OF THIS PARISH/ WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES/ IN THE GREAT WAR/ 1914 – 1919/ THEIR NAME LIVETH FOR EVERMORE. The commemorated names, including rank and regiment, are inscribed on the other faces, whilst on one face of the base’s upper step the later dedication reads 1939 – 1945/ (NAME). The memorial stands on a small pavement, surrounded by a low metal fence which follows the octagonal plan of the memorial’s base.
