The war memorial is in the style of a traditional market cross, with the shaft topped with a lion and mounted on a hexagonal plinth. Two faces list the names of those who died in the 1914-1918 war, and two more those who fell in 1939-1945. A door occupies one face, and the sixth face is blank. It was designed by John Wittet and built in 1919.
