About the memorial: Portland stone Cross in the Eleanor Cross style, surmounted by a crucifix, set on four octagonal steps. As originally constructed the crucifix was wooden and was mounted on a canopied wheeled cross, but was replaced after a storm damaged it. Beneath the cross are four niches containing carvings, with Our Lady depicted beneath the crucifix, St Joan of Arc to her left, then St John, and then St George. The Dedications and names are below, inscribed on eight slate tablets, separated by buttresses, forming an octagon. From the present lay-out it would appear that there has been a re-arrangement, if not replacement, of the original tablets to accommodate additional WW1 names, the WW2 names, and a Falklands War casualty.
