The war memorial is set into the south-east angle of the churchyard wall. It is formed of a Latin cross with an octagonal shaft, which rests on a square plinth and square two-stepped base. At the centre of the cross is the monogram ‘ihs’ carved in relief and set within a circle of interweaving thorns and rose-shaped emblem. It denotes the first three letters of the Greek name for Jesus or, alternatively, the Latin phrase Jesus Hominium Salvator (Jesus, Saviour of Men). The cross arms are enriched with foliage decoration and the foot of the shaft has broach stops and a moulded base.
