The Cotswold limestone memorial, of unusually elaborate form, with a four-sided lantern head which served as a light, was erected c1920 in the middle of the road at the junction of Broad Street, Church Street and High Street. After the Second World War, the Memorial was altered to also commemorate the men of the village who lost their lives in that conflict. In 1983, to minimise the risk of damage from traffic, the Memorial was moved a short distance to its present roadside location. Grade II listed in 2016.
