- Description
- The memorial consists of a stepped, square plinth and base surmounted by a Latin cross. The plinth, being of five stages, stands atop a square-plan single-stone step which forms the base. There is an instep with a chamfered ledge after each stage of the plinth, the fourth stage having both a moulded skirting and cornice, the fifth, being the uppermost, has a moulded cornice and battered sides, the others being otherwise smooth-dressed single stones. The inscription is in applied lead lettering, being located on the West side of the memorial and is divided over the second and third stages of its plinth. A shaft of tapering, octagonal section rises from the plinth to a two-stage, moulded collar directly beneath the cross head which takes the form of a Latin cross. The vertical arm of the cross head is also of tapering section but square in plan, save for a low raised cross detail to both West and East sides. There are heavy projecting nailhead finials at the top and at the two ends of the crossbar.
