Hammersmith Memorial to World War II Civilian Dead, Mortlake Cemetery

The Hammersmith Memorial to World War II Civilian Dead is a post-1945 memorial located within Mortlake Cemetery. The design is unknown. It is constructed from Portland stone and Westmorland slate. The memorial features a horizontal slab of green slate inscribed with the names of 156 victims of aerial bombardment, set between two clipped yew trees and contained within a low stone border. In front of the slab is a cross-shaped paved area, itself within another low stone border. A tapering drum of stone, with a bronze cross positioned above a disc-shaped base, stands at the centre of the cross. The drum is inscribed with the words “AND THE EVENING AND THE MORNING WERE THE SIXTH DAY”.
