This rough-hewn granite obelisk was erected after the Great War and carries the names of sixteen men who fell in that conflict. The names and dedication are on a smoothed panel on the side which faces the church. The names were then added to after the Second World War with three names. All the fallen have their regiments mentioned. The obelisk is about 2m high and is raised on a two-step square plinth and has been enclosed by a wrought iron railing in a square planted with shrubs.

The dedication and the WWI names read:-
