About the memorial: The monument was paid for by the parishioners of the two parishes great easton and tilty, i.e. by public subscription. the foundation stone was laid on 20 March 1918 by Lord Lambourne, then the deputy lord lieutenant of Essex. The completed memorial was unveiled by Brigadier-General Colvin, the local MP, on 1 may 1918, before the end of the First World War. it is a portland stone calvary cross on a tapering octagonal column, standing on a four-sided plinth (on which the inscription is in incised black lettering) and three-stepped square base; the whole memorial stands 20 feet high. when unveiled, the base was surrounded by stone posts. The stone has been pressure-washed in the past 20 to 30 years and the edges of the incised lettering have become worn and uneven.
