Heritage listing
Details First World War memorial with Second World War additions, 1920. MATERIALS: Portland stone. The memorial is situated within a small enclosure immediately within the grounds of the Roman Catholic Church of Our Lady and St Patrick. It takes the form of a carved, pedimented crucifix rising from a rectangular classical plinth set upon a low, square base. The dedication is inscribed on a slate panel fixed to the centre of the plinth and reads: ERECTED/TO THE MEN /OF THIS/ PARISH/ WHO GAVE/ THEIR LIVES/ FOR THEIR/ COUNTRY/IN THE/ GREAT WAR. Beneath is a depiction of an Alisee Patee cross and the inscription: ETERNAL/REST GRANT/UNTO THEM/O’LORD/AND LET/PERPETUAL/LIGHT SHINE/UPON THEM. The 29 names of the First World War Fallen and the 13 names of the Second World War Fallen are carried on slate panels fixed to the right and left in single columns listed by surname and date of death. Slate panels have also been added to the base, to which a small stone urn is fixed in front of the right panel. This List entry has been amended to add the source for War Memorials Online.
