The war memorial consists of a tapering octagonal column surmounted by a canopied and buttressed lantern. There is a small carved winged figure of Saint Michael holding a sword to the front (south-east) face of the lantern. To the rear (north-west) face of the lantern is a carved cross; both carvings are set within cusped surrounds. Both of the lantern's side panels incorporate carved foliate decoration. The column is set upon an octagonal base and a stepped octagonal plinth. The memorial is surrounded by stone-flag paving and is enclosed on three sides by a low wall with styling reminiscent of a battlement. The wall incorporates four wide piers in the style of raised merlons (the solid part of a battlement) with stepped pyramidal caps. The piers to the two front corners are larger and L-shaped.
