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.

Status: Unknown
Type: Freestanding
Location: External
Setting: Within a garden/park/churchyard/enclosure/Marketplace
Description: Latin cross
Materials:
  • Stone Stone (any)
Lettering: Incised
Conflicts:
  • First World War (1914-1918)
  • Second World War (1939-1945)
About the memorial: The cross is at the edge of the churchyard next to the road. The front of the plinth with the inscription and names faces the road. The inscription and names were illegible until a War Memorials Trust grant enabled the cleaning of the memorial and the repainting of the lettering. The WMT funded work has been done very sensitively and the memorial continues to look weathered and in tune with its surroundings while being clearly legible. The bottom level of the base seems to have been replaced at an earlier restoration, or the memorial has been moved to this site and put on a new base.
