Description
Two-stepped base surmounted by ornate octagonal plinth, shaft and cross. Bronze plaques with inscription set into niches in the plinth. There was a longstanding issue with many of the 248 names having been omitted- so these were added on two additional plaques in the hedge behind in 2011.
Inscription
