| Description: A painted wooden board with a gabled slate canopy. The upright oblong board has the inscription and names carved in relief out of the solid in capital block lettering, projecting framework and a shaped lower edge. A shaped wooden bracket to each side supports the roof structure which bears slates and has decoratively shaped bargeboards. The board is surmounted by a wooden cross within the gable, and bears a custodian's metal plaque towards the head. A moulded cornice below the board has hooks for the attachment of tributes. When surveyed the board was painted black with the lettering picked out in white but it had previously been painted all red. The slate roof also replaces an earlier covering of roofing felt.
