About the memorial: The stone memorial stands in the Welfare Park between the cricket ground and the bowling greens. It comprises a tall Latin cross, octagonal in section with moulded terminals, rising from a pyramidal plinth. That stands on a base of stone blocks which is raised on a round dias. The dias is approached from the south-east by a flight of five steps, enclosed by a low capped wall with scroll ends. A low curving wall to the rear of the monument terminates in stone piers. It was, unusually, built after WW2, not after WW1. At St Mary's School, in the village, there is a published book about the History of the school, with a page of the School's war dead. As it is a mass produced book, and it's primary purpose was not as a war memorial, it does not classify as a memorial in it's own right, but is a useful research tool- see under References.
