About the memorial: Cross re-erected as First World War memorial. Probably C15 cross, re- erected in 1920. Tall granite monolith about 2 metres high with octagonal tapered shaft with pyramid stops at the base and the short octagonal arms have an arris moulding; one of the arms has been replaced. It is set on a stepped granite base with lead lettering naming those who died in the First and Second World Wars. The cross, which was probably a wayside cross was formerly used as a gate- post before it was set up as a memorial. It is said to bear the marks of bomb damage from an air-raid of December 17th 1942.
