Memorial Details

Type of Memorial: Cross
WMR Reference Number: 27553
Description: Simple Latin cross of stone set on three-tiered base. The memorial stands on a D-plan paved courtyard and is enclosed by low quarry-faced rubble walls, with ridged coping stones. A continuous wall encloses the sides and the rear of the courtyard; the section immediately to the rear of the memorial rises in height to form a reredos, with two bronze plaques set within. The left-hand plaque relates to WW1 and the right hand plaque, WW2. The two ends of the wall terminate in ashlar posts, with moulded cornices and pyramidal cap stones. Two lengths of shouldered walling descend from the posts, to form the front wall, which has a central opening, flanked by two shorter posts of a similar design.
