The cross bears thirteen names from WWI and another six from WWII. The Wiltshire villages of Winsley and neighbouring Turleigh, Conkwell, Murhill and Hartley, enlisted 113 men who served King and country. Their names are kept on an honours board (originally displayed in the Reading Room - since demolished) and now in the stairwell at Winsley Village Club (also known as Winsley Social Club). It is perhaps fitting as the club was the old school in their day. Grade II listed.
