The memorial was originally sited on a plot of land near to the Cemetery Chapel off Church Street (approximately 1 km away), but was moved to its present, more prominent, location in 1978. It was further transformed in 2010 with the addition of the wall and panels at the rear, the latter displaying names of victims of the First World War not recorded on the original obelisk. The railings round the obelisk were erected at the same time, replacing chain link fencing. The original elements of the memorial, originally dedicated in 1921, are Listed Grade II.
