It stands on a grassed area. The lantern has three crowns carved in relief on one face, a laurel wreath on another face and a cross on another. The names of the fallen men of both world wars are incised around the plinth, listed under the year in which they fell. The memorial is at the top of the High Street on an apron within its own triangular green.
