This memorial takes the form of a well-executed stone column topped with a crucifix bearing the slumped body of Christ wearing a crown of thorns. The column stands on an octagonal, stepped plinth, and is set on a square concrete base. Seven of the eight faces of the column are inscribed with leaded lettering. The memorial was unveiled and dedicated on 15 October 1922 in the attendance of Mrs H S Dixon-Spain, Revd Hubert Craufurd Dixon-Spain and the local parishioners. It cost £200 to construct and was positioned to the south of the Church of St Nicholas. There are twenty names commemorating soldiers who died in the First World War, with a further three added later in memory of soldiers from the Second World War.
