    Reasons for listing from Historic England website: Architectural interest: * it is a well-detailed memorial in the form of a Celtic cross. Historic interest: * it is an eloquent witness to the tragic impact of world events on the local community, and the sacrifice it made in the conflicts of the C20. Group value: * it has group value with the Grade I listed Church of St Lawrence, and with Churchside to the west and The Priory to the south, both Grade II listed.
