Heritage listing
Details DATE: war memorial, officially unveiled in 1919. MATERIALS: constructed in stone, the memorial takes the form of a Celtic cross, with a square shaft and plinth. It is simple and plain in its architectural detail. The cross and plinth sit on a triple-stepped base which itself stands within a rectangular, terraced, walled enclosure approached by steps from the north. The front face of the cross shaft is inscribed, 'IN PERPETUAL REMEMBRANCE OF THOSE WHO ? BORE THEIR PART IN THE GREAT WAR AND IN DEEPEST HOMAGE TO THOSE WHO FELL'. On the plinth are listed the twenty soldiers who lost their lives in the Great War. The first step reads ' GREATER LOVE HATH NO MAN THAN THIS ? MAN LAY DOWN HIS LIFE FOR HIS FRIENDS'. A later addition to the third step is a commemoration to Ronald Eric Ninehan who was killed in action on July 8th 1944. This List entry has been amended to add sources for War Memorials Online and the War Memorials Register.
