Heritage listing
Details First World War memorial, with later additions for the Second World War. MATERIALS: limestone. DESCRIPTION: the memorial is located in the churchyard of the Grade I listed Holy Trinity Church. It comprises a limestone wheel-head cross on a simple shaft, surmounting a tapering four-sided plinth with moulded cap, on a single-tiered base. The plinth bears the following inscription in incised lettering: TO THE GLORY OF GOD/ AND/ IN GRATEFUL AND LOVING REMEMBRANCE OF/ THE MEN OF THIS PARISH WHO FELL IN THE/ GREAT WAR 1914-1918/ THEIR NAME LIVETH FOR EVERMORE// (NAMES)// 1939-1945/ (NAMES)// [Additional plaque on the shaft:] A MEMORIAL PLAQUE/ HAS BEEN PLACED/ IN THE CHURCH/ NOVEMBER 1981. This additional metal plaque was added in 1981 to the lower part of the shaft, presumably in commemoration of the same men, when the inscriptions became difficult to read.
