St Michael's church WW1 cross

Inscription

{On the shaft supports the crucifix, about half-way up:}
Jesu mercy}

{The 8 sides of the plinth are carved with 92 names of the dead (some partially illegible) in alphabetical sequence, starting with the side facing the road. The last name is followed by the word:}

Also

{The base of the plinth is also carved. On the first 3 sides:}
1914
For England
1919

{The other sides of the plinth base are extremely badly weather-worn but clearly used to carry 12 further names, only one of which is decipherable:}
John Smith.

11 names are totally illegible and so are not included under Subjects commemorated. A few others are too weather-worn to to be totally legible. The missing letters are indicated with question marks.
