History
2004: The lettering was cleaned & repainted.; Originally the cross was beside the West Wall of the Church. After WW2 it was moved about 6 feet west to its current position and rotated through 180 degrees to provide a vacant face for the WW2 casualties. ; Until late 2014 the PCC of the Parish was the custodian-transferred to the Parish Council at that date.
