This is a cenotaph - a monument erected in honour of a group of people whose remains are elsewhere. It is a rectangular block of stone on a stone platform, with bronze, low-relief sculptures on the sides depicting marching troops and mourners. It was designed by Lionel Budden, with carving by Herbert Tyson Smith. It remembers the victims of the First World War, with the dates of the Second World War added later.
