Heritage listing
Details The parish memorial cross stands in the churchyard of the Church of All Saints (Grade II*), close to the west end of the church and to the Wynn Ellis Mausoleum (Grade II). It takes the form of a tall lantern cross, in Portland stone. The lantern head is complex and ornate: a Latin cross with the figure of Christ crucified surmounts a domed octagonal lantern, pierced on four sides to allow a light to be lit inside the chamber. The four closed sides are decorated with carved shields bearing the IHS monogram. The lantern rises from a tapering, octagonal, shaft that stands on a square pedestal with scotia moulding and the Royal Arms carved in low relief on the front face. The pedestal stands on a three-stepped base, the lower step of which has a shallow overhang for the placement of floral tributes. The principal dedicatory inscription carved on the front faces of the two upper steps reads PEACE/ TO THE UNCONQUERED/ 1914 – 1918.
