Description

The West Green and Tottenham War Memorial is a First World War memorial that was unveiled on 16 July 1922. It is made of rough-hewn granite and is situated on a landscaped triangular green. The memorial features an obelisk that rests on a tapered plinth, which is set upon a square two-stepped base.

On the north face of the obelisk, at the base, there is a bronze laurel wreath with a ribbon below that bears the inscription "DEO," although the rest of the text is illegible. The south face of the obelisk has an inscription in black painted lead letters on a polished smooth recessed panel that reads: "TO THE/ GLORY OF GOD/ AND IN/ HONOURED MEMORY OF/ THE MEN OF THIS DISTRICT/ WHO FELL IN THE/ GREAT WAR 1914 – 1918."

Additionally, the plinth features the inscription: "THE CAUSE CALLED THEM, THEY WENT AND WON FOR YOU," with names listed underneath in lead letters on polished smooth recessed panels. More names are also inscribed on the other faces of the plinth.
