First World War memorial. 1923; by Frederick Bligh Bond. Timber-framed with sandstone central pier. Shingle roof and spire. Built in form of a Medieval market cross, octagonal on plan with a timber arcade of moulded 2-centred arches, the posts on stone pads, the arcade-plate supporting a steeply-pitched shingle roof rising to an open timber lantern which is surmounted by a tall shingle spire with a simple wrought-iron cross on top. The shingle roof and spire have bell-cast eaves. Inside, there is an arch-braced timber roof structure supported on an octagonal sandstone pier rising up through the centre with an integral seat around its base and Portland stone panels on the sides, inscribed with names of the dead. The floor is of randomly laid sandstone.
An unusually well designed and finely crafted War memorial in the form of a market cross.
