The fourth side has the War Memorial with a quadrant wall and pleached lime trees. The cross is on three steps and has a tall field-found shaft with a light iron cross to the top. The memorial tablets are fixed to the quadrant wall, three slate plaques, one with an inscription in Welsh and English and two with the names of the fallen of WWI. Those lost in WWII are named on a separate bronze tablet.
