Heritage listing

Details The memorial stands in the grounds of the Church of St Mary (Grade I-listed), to the west of the south aisle and facing west. The tall grey Devonshire granite memorial takes the form of a foliated cross head rising from a heavily moulded collar on a tapering octagonal cross shaft. The cross shaft stands on a two-stage octagonal base, which is raised on a square step. The dedication on the front faces of the upper stage of the base reads TO OUR SONS/ WHO IN THE GREAT WAR OF 1914 - 1918/ LAID DOWN THEIR LIVES. The 69 First World War names are recorded on the faces of the lower stage, organised by Service. The Second World War inscription 1939 – 1945/ (23 NAMES) is recorded on the front riser of the step. An additional inscription to the rear of the step reads GRANT, O LORD, ETERNAL REST/ UNTO THEM. Two granite flower vases stand on the step, to the front.
