The World War I memorial made from Portland Stone is in the form of an obelisk standing on a three step base. It was erected in 1925 and was amended after the Second World War to also commemorate that war.
There is a carving of a wreath near the top of the obelisk and at the base the following inscription.
THEY DIED
THAT WE MAY LIVE
1914-1918
1939-1945
