Description:Situated within the churchyard of All Saints’ Church, the memorial was consecrated in June 1919 by the Bishop of Lichfield on ground to the west of the church, given as a churchyard extension by the Dowager Lady Burton. The cross stands almost 17 feet (approximately 5 metres) high and is made from red Hollington stone, standing on a three-tier hexagonal base and plinth. The panels are made from green Cumberland Stone. It commemorates the twenty-six fallen heroes of the village who died in the Great War (1914-1918). It would not have been surrounded by graves at the time of its consecration.
A hero whose name does not appear on the memorial is that of William Harold Coltman, (1891-1974) a son of Rangemore, who volunteered to join the army in January 1915. Previously working as market gardener and a conscientious Plymouth Brethren Sunday-School teacher, he served as a stretcher-bearer in the North Staffordshire Regiment. He became the most decorated other rank in the war being awarded the Victoria Cross, Distinguished Conduct Medal and Bar and the Military Medal and Bar (the Bar denotes a second awarding of a medal). He had previously also been Mentioned in Despatches.
