War Memorial in grey granite, a reduced version of the Cenotaph, Whitehall, London. Two wide granite steps, then low 2-stage plinth, the upper stage with '1914-1918' in raised numerals, under high base with bronze name plaques and 'The Glorious Dead' incised above. Set-back stage above with laurel wreath in relief, as on the Cenotaph, then 3 receding small steps to top 'altar' with rebated corners, shallow ridged cap and incised rosette on front.
