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: Within a garden/park/churchyard/enclosure/Marketplace
Description: Unknown cross
Materials:
  • Stone Limestone
Lettering: Incised
Conflicts:
  • First World War (1914-1918)
About the memorial: A limestone pylon with the top missing (approximately the top 600mm which is presumed to have been a cross) and the absence of fresh edges around the top suggest this is very old damage. The memorial leans slightly north of west due to settlement (assumed to be due old graves below) but this movement appears historic and there was nothing to suggest the lean was continuing. Apart from the damage to the top, the memorial is in fair condition as at 20th May 2014. Further research on a further survey 30/07/1015 leads to the conclusion that it is in fact a broken column rather than a cross originally as the broken column was chosen for memorials to symbolise a life cut short.
