Details The memorial is located in the centre of the path leading to the Church of St John the Baptist, and it comprises a stone lantern cross carved with decorative details surmounted by a small Latin cross. The cross is set upon an octagonal grooved shaft with a carved decorative collar, which in turn is set upon an octagonal plinth and three-stepped base. The front face of the plinth carries the inscription which reads TO THE GLORY/ OF GOD/ AND/ IN GRATEFUL/ REMEMBRANCE OF/ THE MEN OF THIS PARISH/ WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES/ IN THE GREAT WAR/ 1914 – 1919/ GREATER LOVE HATH/ NO MAN THAN THIS/ THAT A MAN LAY DOWN/ HIS LIFE FOR HIS FRIENDS/ S JOHN XV 13. The other faces of the plinth carry the names. Inclined upon the three steps at the base is an additional tablet. The inscription reads THIS TABLET IS ADDED/ IN MEMORY OF THESE MEN/ OF THE PARISH WHO DIED/ ON ACTIVE SERVICE/ IN THE WORLD WAR/ 1939 – 1945/ (NAMES)/ "AT THE GOING DOWN OF THE SUN/ AND IN THE MORNING/ WE WILL REMEMBER THEM".
