Structure
The war memorial in St Andrews Cemetery is located next to the tombs of servicemen who died during the first and second world wars. It is a fine example of the ‘sacrifice style’, a stone cross of sacrifice of octagonal design stands tall upon a stepped octagonal plinth. There is an iron sword inlaid in the centre of the cross. An inscription is carved into the plinth commemorating those from the area who died in the wars. LOCAL LIST
