Whittington (Shropshire) Parish Church War Memorial

There was originally a memorial gate and archway at the front of the church but it was move to a rear side entrance around (very approximately) 1970.  I was very confused, the NGR on the IWM WMR was very wrong and could not see a gate at the front of the church.  There is lych gate across the road so thought it might be that then saw an obelisk with cross on top but that is 19th Century!
