Heritage listing
Details A stone First World War memorial, of 1922. MATERIALS: buff polished-granite, and limestone. DESCRIPTION: the war memorial faces south-east, and is located in the churchyard of the Church of Emmanuel. It stands on a square limestone base and is formed of a polished-granite plinth which is surmounted by a tall and slender, tapering spire. At the top of the spire there is a small limestone cross. The front and side faces of the plinth carry the inscribed names of the local combatants, who fell in the First World War. The front face also carries the inscription TO / THE GLORY OF GOD / AND / THE MEMORY / OF THOSE THAT FELL IN / THE GREAT WAR / 1914-1918. The memorial also appears to bear the name of the stone masons: 'T JUDD & Co Sc', although the metal lettering has been removed and only the outline remains.
