Curving walls connect the stone of remembrance with matching piers to the front with wrought iron railings attached.

HISTORY: This war memorial was designed by Mr G H Lawson and the masons were Messrs Tully and Sons. It was unveiled and dedicated in March 1922.
War memorials have a very strong historical and cultural significance on both a local and national scale. Erected in 1922, this stone of remembrance is a rather more unusual example, which is competently executed. It is a good example of a memorial, which commemorates the fallen of the First and Second World Wars. It has clear special historic interest and therefore fully meets the criteria for listing in a national context.
