Tooting (All Saints) War Memorial

The Tooting (All Saints) War Memorial is a tall octagonal stone shaft topped with a gabled cross. It stands on a plinth, which features a decorated shield on each face representing the Instruments of the Passion. The front shield depicts the Cross, the right shield shows IOS (an ancient term for Christ), the back shield represents the pillar and whips symbolizing the Flagellation of Christ, and the left shield illustrates the ladder of the Deposition, along with the Holy Sponge and Holy Lance. The plinth is supported by a three-tiered platform, with the top tier being square and the middle and bottom tiers both octagonal. The bottom tier has four sloping steps aligned with the shields on the plinth, each step featuring a wooden panel that lists the names of the Fallen. The back panel includes the inscription: "To the Glory of God and in Ever Grateful Memory of the Men of this Church and Parish Who Fighting in Many Lands in the Great War Passed on Through Death to the Life Beyond."
