About the memorial: Latin cross on square plinth and tree stepped base, located at the entrance to the Primary School. A tree, an oak tree planted to the south, now provides significant shade. The memorial was originally designed to be surrounded with York stone paving. However, at some point this has been replaced by crazy paving, which is now deteriorating and unattractive. Four stones on the plinth have been frost-damaged. The shade of the tree is limiting the flower beds. On the memorial itself, the names are obscured with lichen, etc.
