  • Stone Stone (any)

About the memorial: The memorial is at the side of the main road, next to a churchyard. It is raised up from the roadside, within a semi-circle of grass, with a line of bushes separating it from the churchyard. The memorial can be accessed via a path from inside the churchyard, next to the lych gate.The writing is only on one side, which can be seen from the road, and is South-facing. The column memorial has the shape of a Christian cross at the top, with a sword within the cross (blade down) and a wreath circles the top and arms of the cross. The memorial has moss and lichen growing on it, and the 12 names of the men who fought and died are difficult to read due to the erosion of the stone face towards the base of the column.
