About the memorial: Latin limestone cross on a limestone plinth and two step base. The original Celtic cross (blown down in 1960) is on the ground at its base. A new cross was added in June 1979. The lettering on the Cross is leaded. There are 30 bushes in the compound. This is the same number as the combined number of WW1 and WW2 casualties. Each has a white metal plaque at its base giving full details of one of the casualties in inscribed lettering. They were installed in 2014. These seem to be in no order so I have listed them below in anti-clockwise order. There is also one of the stock metal benches which have appeared in many places during the WW1 Centenary.
