War memorial, 1920.
The war memorial stands on the green where Church Way joins the High Street. It comprises a 2.75m high wheel-headed Celtic cross in Weldon limestone, with well-executed raised interlace decoration across its whole front face including the shaft. The cross shaft rises from a squat, tapered plinth which carries the inscription IN MEMORIAM 1914-1919/ (9 NAMES)/ FOR KING AND COUNTRY. The memorial stands in a small paved area enclosed by nine low wooden posts carrying a chain.
