Description
The War Memorial in Queens Road Cemetery, Walthamstow, is a Cross of Sacrifice designed in 1918 by Sir Reginald Blomfield for the Imperial War Graves Commission. It is made of Portland stone and has an octagonal shape with a facetted, tapering shaft that is chamfered at the base. A bronze sword is mounted on the front face of the cross.
The memorial stands on a tall octagonal base, which is set on a stepped octagonal plinth that rests on paving at ground level. Part of the plinth has been restored. The base features inscriptions with the dates 1914/ + /1918 and 1939/ + /1945, along with the words THEIR / NAME / LIVETH / FOR / EVERMORE beneath it.
This memorial is located at a junction of paths at the head of the central, axial route within Queens Road Cemetery, which was previously known as Walthamstow Cemetery, and is situated to the north of the cemetery chapels.
