Heritage listing
Details The memorial stands in a paved area beside and above the brook that runs through the village. The valley of the brook is landscaped and planted as Coronation Gardens, for the 1953 coronation. The memorial enclosure is separated from the gardens by metal railings and a gate, and protected from the road by low bollards carrying a chain. The memorial comprises a large stone Celtic cross, c1.8m tall, decorated with intricate carved interlace patterns. The cross rises from a plinth carved in the form of a rock outcrop. Panels on the plinth bear the inscriptions. Left panel: THIS CROSS/ WAS ERECTED/ BY THE/ INHABITANTS OF THIS/ VILLAGE,/ IN MEMORY OF/ THOSE BRAVE MEN/ WHO SACRIFICED THEIR/ LIVES IN THE/ GREAT WAR/ 1914 – 1918/ THAT WE HERE/ MIGHT LIVE IN/ PEACE Right panel: (11 NAMES) Lower panel: ENGRAVED BELOW ARE THE NAMES OF/ THOSE WHO FELL IN THE SECOND WORLD WAR/ 1939 – 1945/ (4 NAMES) A low retaining wall encloses a flower bed around the base of the plinth.
