Heritage listing

Details The tall sandstone memorial stands in the churchyard of the Church of St John the Evangelist (Grade II). It comprises a Latin cross rising from a moulded collar on an octagonal shaft. That stands on a plinth, square on plan, with on each side a rose carved in relief at the centre of a blind quatrefoil. The plinth is raised on a four-stepped base. The lower step has a slight overhang for the placement of floral tributes. The principal dedicatory inscription carved around the top step of the base reads THIS CROSS WAS ERECTED/ BY THE PEOPLE OF MERROW/ IN MEMORY OF THE MEN/ OF THE VILLAGE WHO IN/ THE GREAT WAR 1914-1918/ LAID DOWN THEIR LIVES FOR/ KING AND COUNTRY IN THE/ CAUSE OF JUSTICE AND HUMANITY. A bronze plaque fixed to a sloping stone support to the front of the lowest step records the 39 names from the First World War with, above, a plaque reading 1939-1945/ (13 NAMES).
