A simple grey and white marble tablet has been erected by the Parochial Church Council and placed on the south wall of the south aisle in this small village church. The supporting stone is the grey marble with the white marble inscribed with the names of those killed in the Great War. Above the dedication is a pink marble cross enclosed within a gold wreath, this has the two dates, one either side.
