War Memorial

There are several war memorials at the church.

War memorial Worn inscription

In the churchyard, to the south of the church, is a Portland stone gabled crucifix set on an inscribed square pedestal with moulded plinth and cornice and has a circular base of two steps.

It was dedicated by the vicar of St Mark's, the Rev H. L. Day, on 31 March 1920.

The badly worn inscription is on three sides of the pedestal:

GOD SPARED NOT
HIS OWN SON

1914-18

REMEMBER WITH THANKSGIVING
THE FAITHFUL AND TRUE
WHO IN THOSE YEARS OF WAR
WENT FORTH FROM THIS PLACE
FOR GOD AND THE RIGHT

THE NAMES OF THOSE WHO
RETURNED NOT AGAIN ARE
HERE INSCRIBED TO BE
HONOURED FOR EVERMORE
R.I.P.
FOR I SENT YOU OUT WITH
MOURNING AND WEEPING
BUT GOD WILL GIVE YOU
TO ME AGAIN WITH JOY
AND GLADNESS FOR EVER.
