Heritage listing
Details First War War memorial, erected around 1920, with later additions. DESCRIPTION: the war memorial is square in plan, and takes the form of a grey granite wheel cross on an elongated tapered plinth and single-stepped base. The polished-granite plinth bears the following inscription on its front (east) elevation: ‘THIS CROSS IS ERECTED / IN GRATEFUL REMEMBRANCE / OF THE MEN FROM THIS PARISH / WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES / FOR THEIR COUNTRY / IN THE GREAT WAR / 1914 – 1919 / THEIR NAME LIVETH FOR EVERMORE / ECCLUS XLIV 14’. The 23 names of the fallen are inscribed on the north and south elevations of the plinth (12 and 11 names respectively). Seven names of the fallen of the Second World War were later added to the west elevation of the plinth. The memorial is bounded by kerbstones, having eight cast-iron posts linked by metal chains. The memorial stands in a prominent location in the churchyard of the Church of St Mary the Virgin (listed at Grade I), approximately 8m north-east of the north door of the church.
