Heritage listing

Details The memorial stands on the green to the south side of Ivestone Lane. It takes the form of a Celtic cross in granite, c3m tall. The front face of the cross is decorated with complex interlace patterns carved in relief. The cross shaft rises from a tapering pedestal that stands on a stone step. The memorial cross is enclosed by a square stone kerb that once carried railings. The principal dedicatory inscription in the front face of the pedestal reads: ERECTED BY THE/ INHABITANTS OF THE VILLAGE/ TO THE ETERNAL MEMORY OF/ THE MEN WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES/ FOR THEIR KING & COUNTRY/ DURING THE GREAT WAR/ 1914 – 1918. The First World War names are listed on the pedestal sides. The inscription on the front riser of the step reads 1939 – 1945/ (NAMES). The St Ives’ Stone stands in front of the cross in the memorial enclosure. The enclosure is defined by plain metal bars carried on coursed stone piers, with a gate to the front.
