Description
Cobham War Memorial is situated next to the road at the junction of Lodge Lane and Cobhambury Road, elevated from street level by a low rubble-stone plinth. Curved steps on either side lead to a lawn at the rear. The memorial features a plain wheel-head cross with a tapering, lozenge-sectioned shaft and a moulded foot, which stands on a two-stage, octagonal base.
The main dedicatory inscription encircles the upper stage of the base, beginning from the front face, and reads: "TO THE MEMORY/ OF THE MEN/ OF COBHAM/ WHO DIED FOR/ THEIR COUNTRY/ IN THE GREAT WAR/ + 1914-1918 +/ SIC ITER AD ASTRA." Below this, the names of those who lost their lives in the First World War are inscribed. The lower stage of the base includes the inscription "ALSO TO THE MEMORY/ OF THOSE WHO GAVE/ THEIR LIVES 1939-1945," also accompanied by names below.
In front of the steps, there are pairs of bollards, each with a short chain, although these features are not of special interest.
