description
Listing entry 1436556 - this war memorial is located within the churchyard of St Mary Magdalene Church (Grade I) facing towards the road. It consists of an obelisk set upon a square plinth. The whole is set upon a three-stepped octagonal base. The stone of the memorial is rough finished and the plinth bears a plain arched cartouche of polished stone on each of its faces. These panels bear the incised inscriptions and names of the fallen. The front face of the plinth is enriched with a raised carving of a wreath with a cross at its centre. Below this is the inscription: IN / THANKFUL REMEMBRANCE / OF THE MEN OF THIS PARISH / WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES IN / THE GREAT WAR / 1914 – 1919. On another face of the plinth, following the list of names from the First World War, is inscribed 1939 – 1945 followed by the names of the fallen from the Second World War.
