Erected by the parents of the late soldiers, this memorial is dedicated to the local war dead of the First World War. Composed of two bases, and a stone depicting a soldier playing "The Last Post". There are seven names of the First World War and, later, three names were added for the Second World War. The 13th verse of John, chapter 15, is engraved on the second base. The Church Auxiliary places a wreath on Sunday in November and a short memorial service is held by the congregation.
