About the memorial: cross set in a small garden on the main road through the village and near the Hazelhurst Memorial Institute (now the village hall). It looks as though there was a plaque on the square base of the pillar but this is no longer there. We believe that the slate panels attached around the base have been provided by the local British Legion fairly recently. the cross itself has a decorated cross on a shaped tapering shaft with 3 stepped plinths and another hexagonal taller base for the cross
