This cross with a sword depicted on its front pays tribute to the men of the village who died in the First World War. There is a granite plaque inscribed with the names of 18 of them.
This memorial is from 1920.

From a distance, one might mistake it for a typical wayside cross, like the small sacred monuments found in many places. But upon closer inspection, the true significance of this memorial reveals itself: to commemorate the many victims claimed by war and tyranny in so many places. Thus, they remain significant today as a constant reminder to maintain peace—despite the significant time gap between those days and the present, these memorials lose none of their relevance.
