War memorial outside St Mary Magdelene's Church, Richmond

The tall stone memorial stands in the churchyard of the Church of St Mary Magdalene (Grade II*-listed), c10m to the north of the church’s north aisle and opposite numbers 3 and 4 Church Walk (Grade II-listed). It takes the form of an Eleanor Cross, in three stages. A small cross surmounts the upper, hexagonal, lantern. The middle stage, with alternating blind and pierced arches, includes a sculpture of St George standing over the vanquished dragon in the front-facing arcade.

The bottom stage, also hexagonal on plan, is formed of two tiers of blind arcading. The principal dedicatory inscription, carved in relief in the band between these tiers, reads: REMEMBER THE MEN OF RICHMOND WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES FOR THEIR COUNTRY IN THE GREAT WAR 1914-1919. The commemorated names are recorded on a Roll of Honour inside the adjacent church.
