The east front has lettering which reads: "1914 - 1918 /THESE/MEN OF LAWFORD/GAVE THEIR LIVES/FOR THEIR COUNTRY/ [8 names]/THIS IS /THE RECORD/OF THEIR HONOUR/AND OF OUR/GRATITUDE" Beneath is a separate inscription: "AND OF THE 1939-1945 WAR/ [5 names]". To the right and left reveals, and faintly legible, are inscribed the names of those who served in the First World War [left wall A-N, right wall O-Z]. The monument stands on a square plinth which is included in the listing. Surrounding this is cobbled paving and a series of traffic bollards which appear to have been placed in the mid-late 20th century and are not included as part of this listing. <1>
