Stanton Ordnance Survey reference: SP 068343 War Memorial

This is a bronze plaque in a wall by the roadside:

gave their lives in the Great War

A.D. 1914-1919 To whose memory the

Village has dedicated the new cross.

Just up the road is an old, rather eroded cross. In the churchyard is a newer cross on an octagonal stone base. Two sides bear the inscriptions:

Lest We Forget



AD 1914-1918

This is presumably the “new cross” referred to on the memorial plaque.
