About the memorial: This memorial consists of a Latin cross on a three stepped base and a large square plinth, all constructed from Limestone. There is a bronze inscription plaque at the base of the memorial commemorating the men of the Parish who died in service during World War I and World War II. The memorial was given by the Rev. F.J. Montgomery in 1917 when his younger son was killed in the First World War. By 1999 the lettering had become worn so a bronze plaque was fitted commemorating Halse villagers who had died in both world wars.
