Full Description
February 2012. Listed. Grade II.
Listing Description (S1):
A War Memorial unveiled and dedicated in October 1920. Constructed of stone and located in a triangular greensward at the junction of two lanes. The memorial takes the form of a cross set on a tapered, chamfered, smooth shaft set on a roughly dressed, stone plinth. The cross has a moulded base and the arms are encircled with a stone roundel. The memorial is approached by four flights of steps, roughly dressed to match the plinth. Carved on the rise of the uppermost steps on each side are the words: ' SONS OF THIS PLACE/LET THIS OF YOU BE SAID/THAT YOU WHO LIVE/ARE WORTHY OF YOUR DEAD'
The names of the 15 fallen men of the parish killed in WWI are not carved on the Memorial. Instead, a decorative plaque in the Church of All Saints bears their names and was dedicated in July 1921.
