Can you help?

In 2014, WMT gave a grant towards this war memorial. As it has been a number of years since the grant was given, we would like an up-to-date condition survey and photographs to be added to this war memorial record. Can you help?

War Memorials Trust case: War Memorials Trust needs to avoid Contributors changing location/description details as we help to protect and conserve this war memorial through our casework. You can still add photographs, update condition and use the tabs below. If you believe any of the information you cannot edit is wrong or information is missing, please make a note of the reference number and include it in your email when you contact us.

Status: On original site
Type: Freestanding
Location: External
Setting: Roadside
Description: Latin cross
Materials:
  • Stone Limestone
Lettering: Inscribed on a plaque
Conflicts:
  • First World War (1914-1918)
  • Second World War (1939-1945)
About the memorial: Small Latin cross rising from a moulded collar, on a tapering shaft. The intersection of the cross arms is ornamented with a small shield to the front. The shaft is decorated with a fluted and beaded spiral pattern, and stands on a small stone pedestal, square on plan. The pedestal stands on a three-stage base; each stage, made of stone, brick, and with knapped flint squares in the lowest stage, has a slightly projecting step for the placement of wreaths. The memorial is centred at a round pavement of cobbles and stone kerbs. The Second World War names are listed below the dates 1939 – 1945, whilst the First World War names are recorded on the middle stage of the base. Bronze plaques which had been added to record the WWI and WWII names (after they became illegible) were removed during conservation works in 2016 and the names were re-cut into the stonework.
