The cross is mounted on a stone cube. Each of the presenting four faces of the cube has an inscription. The main facing one is of course, the list of names. The other three faces bear the following words.

Live thou for England

We for England Died

Sons of this place let this of you be said

That you who live are worthy of your dead

These gave their lives that you who live may reap

A richer harvest er you fall asleep

*

To the Glory of God

And in ever grateful

Memory of the men

Of this parish who

Gave their lives for

Their country in the Great War 1914 -1919
