Description
The Otford War Memorial is a First World War memorial, created around 1919, with names added after the Second World War. It is made of Portland stone and is located on the village green of Otford, outside the Church of St Bartholomew. The memorial features a slim Latin cross, which has a vertical sword carved in relief. This cross is supported by a battered base that stands on three steps. The base includes four bronze plaques. The main plaque on the front is embossed with the words 'THE GLORIOUS DEAD / FALLEN IN THE / CAUSE / OF THE FREE / 1914 - 1918 / WHILE WE LIVE / WE'LL REMEMBER'. The other three plaques list the names of the 37 individuals who died in the First World War. Additionally, on the step below the main face, there is a bronze plaque that is embossed with '1939-1945', which also includes the names of the seven who fell in this later conflict.
