    Reasons for listing from Historic England website: Historic interest: * as 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. Architectural interest: * for its retention of original fabric and well-realised design in the form of a Latin Cross on a shaft, plinth and base; Group value: * with the nearby Church of St Michael (Grade I) which contains a commemorative window, contemporary with the memorial cross.
