One side of the plinth carries the names of 13 men from the Second World War with the dates 1939-1945. The base of the front of the cross is inscribed "This Cross was erected in Loving Grateful Memory of the Men of this Parish who made the Supreme Sacrifice in the Great War". The cross is inscribed with Celtic knot pattern motifs with bosses around the circlet.
