Heritage listing
Details The Portland stone memorial stands on the green area at the junction of Westside Lane and High Street, adjacent to numerous Grade II-listed buildings. It comprises a two-stepped square base, surmounted by a square-sectioned tapering plinth with incised inscription panels. The cross shaft, octagonal in section and with a moulded foot and collar, supports the wheel-head cross. The cross-head arms are terminated by carved flower heads. The principal dedicatory inscription to the front (east) face of the plinth reads THIS MEMORIAL/ WAS ERECTED BY/ THE INHABITANTS OF/ STOKE GOLDINGTON AND GAYHURST/ IN MEMORY OF THEIR HEROES/ WHO FELL IN THE/ GREAT WAR. 1914-1919./ WORLD WAR. 1939-1945. The commemorated names are listed on the north and west sides, grouped by year of death.
