The
memorial is inside the parish church of All Saints. It takes the form
of a white marble tablet framed in elaborately and irregularly shaped,
grey, marble, backboard with black indentations and a wreath centrally
with the white tablet inscribed with the dedication and names in black
lettering. The memorial was unveiled by Lady Delia Peel and dedicated
by Rev. E. D. F. Mann 9 January 1921. (Please note: The photograph and
transcription were taken through the stained glass window opposite the
plaque and may be inaccurate - the church was locked). There is also
a hand written Roll of Honour hanging on the North wall of church interior
that was damaged by the damp in the building but has been restored and
now hung in a modern glazed frame that lists the men from the village
that served in World War 1.
