Two plaques commemorating the fallen from both World Wars. The First World War plaque is rectangular metal with corners cut into at the top, stylised floral bosses at each corner and two lines of raised, plain moulded borders around each side. At the centre of the top is a laurel wreath with a cross. The names of the dead are listed with raised lettering. The Second World War plaque is a plain marble square with incised painted lettering in black. Both plaques are set above two oblong steps and surrounded by circular iron fence.
