Heritage listing
Details First World War memorial, c.1920, with later additions for the Second World War. DESCRIPTION: the memorial cross, c. 4 m high, stands on a small green where The Street meets the A149. The stone cross has a small foliate head rising from a crown, set on top of a tapering octagonal shaft. That rises from a fairly small square plinth, which itself is set on a five-sided base of two main stages, the lower stepped out as a shelf for wreaths. The plinth is inscribed TO / KEEP IN REMEMBRANCE / THE MEN OF KELLING / WHO FELL / IN THE WARS OF/ 1914-1918 / AND / 1939–1945. The names of those who fell appear on the other three sides. On the upper stage of the base is inscribed THEIR NAME LIVETH.
