Heritage listing
Details War Memorial, erected 1921. DESCRIPTION: it is situated on a slightly elevated circular mound and is approached by four stone steps on its north side, although a postcard from c1925 shows the steps were originally on the west side. The memorial takes the form of a monolith of roughly-hewn Cornish granite which stands on a raised base which is also roughly-hewn. Bronze plaques on the memorial's west and south faces each carry a dedication, in relief lettering: TO OUR GLORIOUS DEAD/ 1914-1918/ NAMES. A further plaque, also of bronze, reads: TO OUR GLORIOUS DEAD/ 1939-1945/ NAMES. Pursuant to s.1 (5A) of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 ('the Act') it is declared that the later C20 chain and link fence and wooden posts which encircle the war memorial are not of special architectural or historic interest and are not included in the listing.
