Description

The war memorial, located on Clapham Park Road, was constructed between 1919 and 1920 by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott. It is made of limestone and features a tall cross with short arms, topped by a figure of Christ beneath a pierced canopy. The memorial is set on a plinth with an offset base, and the chamfered parapet extends to each side. The face of the parapet is inscribed, although the inscription is very worn.

Local climate

War Memorial sits in one of the driest parts of the UK, with an average of 690 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 95% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 98% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 35 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 57% of listed buildings. Of these, 16 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
