Description
Sanderstead War Memorial is a tall decorated cross made of Cornish granite, which stands on an octagonal plinth. The plinth features four bronze plaques, each rectangular and adorned with floral designs in the corners that represent the four home nations: the English Tudor rose, Scottish thistle, Irish shamrock, and Welsh leek. At the top of the plinth is a figure of Lady Justice. The front plaque has the inscription: "1914 - 1919 / ALL YE WHO / PASS BY / REMEMBER / WITH / GRATITUDE / THE MEN OF / THIS PLACE / WHO WENT FORTH / TO FIGHT FOR / GOD AND COUNTRY. / THE NAMES / OF THOSE WHO / RETURNED NOT / AGAIN ARE HEREON / INSCRIBED / R.I.P." The other three plaques list the names of those who fell. The memorial is set on a four-step base, with the top step displaying bronze plaques that commemorate those who fell in the Second World War, including civilians who were killed in air raids. The entire memorial is situated on a raised, walled limestone dais.
