Heritage listing
Details The memorial stands to one side of the churchyard path, to the north-east of St Michael’s and All Angels’ Church (not listed). It takes the form of a stone wheel-head cross, c3m tall. The cross shaft rises from a tapering pedestal, that stands on a low step. The memorial is in a small square enclosure marked by a low kerb. The principal dedicatory inscription on the front face of the cross shaft reads TO/ THE GLORY/ OF/ GOD/ AND IN/ HONOUR/ OF/ BRAVE MEN/ WHO FELL IN/ THE GREAT/ WARS/ 1914-1919/ 1939-1945. The nine names are listed on the front face of the pedestal. This List entry has been amended to add sources for War Memorials Online and the War Memorials Register.
