The war memorial is made of stone, in a small gravel box at the edge of the churchyard.
On one side of the base it reads
"SOME MEN HAVE NO MEMORIAL, BUT THESE ARE THEY WHOSE"

On the opposite face it reads
"RIGHTEOUSNESS HATH NOT BEEN FORGOTTEN"

On the cross shaft are the names of those who fell during the Great War from the villages of the parish.

There is also a mention of a Cyprus veteran.
