About the memorial: The memorial has two principal elements: a churchyard cross and a tablet inside the church. An existing churchyard monument, described as a cross, comprises a square sandstone pillar with tapering chamfers surmounting a circular four-step sandstone base. This was modified by carving the dates on the pillar and by adding a canopied cross on the top. This cross has square wooden limbs and a semicircular canopy made up of wooden boards with a metal covering. The top two steps of the base have been replaced with concrete which has itself now deteriorated significantly. The oblong limestone tablet has a stone frame painted black, all of which is recessed flush with the surface of the wall. The original WW1 inscription comprised a heading with 24 names in three columns and a quotation and dates at the foot. Seven WW2 names were subsequently added, but squeezed in at different locations on the tablet. All of the inscription and names are incised in upright capital roman lettering, but the WW2 names appear to be slightly darker and are the top and bottom rows of names plus the name of William Fisher below the words of dedication. This is being treated as a composite memorial. The parish church signboard clearly identifies the village as Great Barlow but maps and other references refer to it as just Barlow. The cross is in the churchyard, between the road and the porch. The tablet is inside the church, at the west end of the south wall of the nave.
