    Description
    Set on a south-west facing slope enclosed within wrought iron railings. A white marble statue of a soldier at ease resting atop a tapering grey granite block on a stepped, chamfered base. The block commemorates those (unnamed) who served in the First World War on its east face, and on its north face those (named) who died. A register of the names of those from the district who served (including one woman), engraved on plaques, is set against the slope below the monument on its south-west side. Standing upright above it is a separate, granite, plaque commemorating the dead of the Second World War. The monument is approached by footpaths from north and south.
