Setting: Within a garden/park/churchyard/enclosure/Marketplace
Description: Battlefield (wooden) cross
Materials:
  • Stone Stone (any)
Conflicts:
  • First World War (1914-1918)
About the memorial: This cross was erected in memory of those from this parish who made the great sacrifice in the Great War 1914-1918. The memorial is sited in the graveyard of the former St Michael the Archangel Parish Church, which is now a private house, including the graveyard. The owner is quite happy to let people view the graveyard and he puts a wreath on the memorial each year. The memorial is in very bad condition, the base cracking and the wooden cross rotting. The inscription is almost illegible. The owner of the house would welcome restoration of the monument.

Not eligible for listing

Information Required

memorial not listed as it is a small and architecturally unambitious timber cross on a stepped base. While clearly deserving of the greatest respect, its lack of design interest means it is not recommended for listing.
