Description
Village war memorial prominently sited north-west of the village centre, on the west side of the river. It was erected in the 1920s but moved to its present location in 1960.
The monument is a tall tapering pedestal with a statue of an infantryman in battlefield dress, carved from Portland stone, and is set on a shallow, chamfered plinth with concrete paving, part of the enclosure created in 1960. On the front (south) face of the pedestal are the names of the First World War dead engraved in black letters within a sunk panel. The list extends on to the plinth to which has been added names of the dead in the Afghan War. The sides have dedication inscriptions in English and Welsh. On the rear face the dead of the Second World War and the Korean War are added, above an inscription on the base recording the movement of the monument to its new location in 1960.
The monument stands in a railed enclosure of concrete paving with steel railings. Flag poles are placed flanking the memorial. (Cadw Listing database)
