Heritage listing
Details The memorial stands in the High Street, at a road junction in the village centre in close proximity to the Grade II-listed Lindum House and Adjoining Shop. It is built in peagrit-texture limestone from the Box Quarry (Minchinhampton) and from Leckhampton Quarry. The memorial takes the form of a tall Latin cross; the cross shaft is octagonal in section, and there are small cusps in the angled corners of the cross head. The moulded foot of the cross shaft stands on a plinth in the form of an octagonal drum with a shallow circular head. The plinth is raised on a three-stepped base. An inscription GREATER LOVE HATH NO MAN THAN THIS 1914 + 1919 is carved in relief around the circular head of the plinth. The commemorated First World War names are recorded on the faces of the plinth, with the additional dedication IN PROUD AND GRATEFUL/ MEMORY OF THOSE WHO/ GAVE THEIR LIVES IN THE/ WAR OF 1939-1945 and Second World War names.
