Heritage listing
Details A First World War memorial, dating from circa 1920. MATERIALS: local Cotswold limestone. DESCRIPTION: the memorial takes the form of an unusual, wide, cruciform lantern, with a trefoil-headed opening on each side, the lantern designed to house an oil lantern and to show light on all four sides. The lantern has a small orb and cross finial at the top, and stands on a cylindrical Doric column. The column is set on a three-stepped hexagonal base, on a platform of two circular steps. Three faces of the top step of the base have carved lettering picked out in black paint, which reads: OUR / GLORIOUS DEAD / THAT THEIR NAMES / BE NOT FORGOTTEN / 1914 – 1919. Below this, the names of the 25 men who died are carved into inset stone plaques. On the lower step, a further inset plaque reads: 1939 – 1945 / WE WILL REMEMBER THEM; this plaque is flanked by the names of the 14 men who lost their lives.
