Type of Memorial: Cross
WMR Reference Number: 8267
Description: The memorial takes the form of a stone, Latin cross-head atop an octagonal, tapering column with moulded foot. To each face of the column are small, recessed arches at its base, directly above the foot. The column rises from a moulded pedestal, surmounting a square plinth with a three-stepped, octagonal base beneath. The pedestal has a chamfered top with a moulded scroll design to the bottom of each corner. The plinth consists of a square block on a chamfered foot. The pedestal carries the principal inscription to three sides, with the names on the plinth beneath. A narrow square block separates the pedestal and plinth and bears the dates of the conflicts to two faces
