Description
The Marshall War Memorial is a war memorial built in 1919 by G Maile and Sons Ltd. It is dedicated to Walter Langley Marshall, a priest of the church, as well as to the First World War dead of the parish and the 3rd Fulham Scouts.
Constructed from Cornish granite, the memorial is situated in the churchyard at the east end of the church, facing Filmer Road. It features a crucifix that stands approximately 3.6 meters high, adorned with Celtic motifs on the front and depicting a figure of Christ crucified in relief.
The east face of the plinth has an irregularly-shaped, incised tablet with the inscription: ‘TO THE GLORY OF GOD/ AND TO THE SACRED MEMORY OF/ WALTER LANGLEY MARSHALL/ PRIEST OF THIS CHURCH,/ WHO ENTERED INTO REST, JUNE 2ND 1917./ ALSO OF THE MEN OF THIS PARISH, AND OF THE 3RD/ FULHAM SCOUTS WHO FELL IN THE GREAT WAR 1914-1919./ R.I.P./ “UPON THE CRUCIFIED ONE LOOK, AND THOU SHALT READ/ WHAT WELL IS WORTH THY LEARNING.”/ “GREATER LOVE HATH NO MAN THAN THIS, THAT/ A MAN LAY DOWN HIS LIFE FOR HIS FRIENDS.”’ The north face bears the inscription: ‘THIS MEMORIAL WAS DEDICATED/ BY THE LORD BISHOP OF LONDON/ ON THE 15TH DAY OF JULY 1919/ F COLE ROBINSON VICAR/ WE MINIFIE, WJ MCCULLY CHURCHWARDENS’.
