Status: On original site
Type: Freestanding
Location: External
Setting: Roadside
Description: Latin cross
Materials:
  • Metal Metal (any)
  • Stone Granite
Lettering: Raised
Conflicts:
  • First World War (1914-1918)
  • Second World War (1939-1945)
About the memorial: Granite Latin cross set on three tiered platforms in middle of road junction. The names are the same on this memorial and on the Church Roll of Honour (WMO/219769). The WW2 name is in lead lettering directly on the stonework, the WW1 names are in raised lettering on metal plaques. To try to avoid a cycle of incorrect additions of records Walter Holwill (who the memorial does not mention was awarded the Military Cross) is buried in the Churchyard, with a family gravestone- whose wording would not suggest that it is his war grave.
