    Reasons for listing from Historic England website: Historic interest: * as an eloquent witness to the tragic impact of world events on the church’s community, and the sacrifice it made in the conflicts of the C20. Architectural interest: * for its design, a simple but dignified classical memorial. Group value: * with the Church of St Egelwin the Martyr (Grade II), in whose churchyard it stands, and a medieval churchyard cross (listed and scheduled) and two chest tombs (listed Grade II), with which it forms a poignant memorial grouping.
