The Churchyard Calvary

Set in the small area of churchyard on the southern side of the church there is another war memorial. It was funded by public subscription and unveiled on 18 June 1921. The opening ceremony was performed by Lady Henry Bentinck. It is in the form of a white Portland stone Calvary.

The octagonal base has the inscription:

To the Glory of God and in memory of the men
Of St. George’s parish who gave their lives for
Home and country during the Wars of
1914-1918
1939-1945

(The reference to World War II was added at a later date.)
