War memorial to the men of East and West Molesey

The war memorial consists of a c4m tall, square, tapering limestone column which stands on Hurst Road, East Molesey, beside the River Thames. Beneath the abacus, on each face of the column is a raised arch which encloses incised inscriptions. The south-east face of the war memorial bears the principal inscription IN/ MEMORY/ OF THE/ MEN OF/ EAST &/ WEST/ MOLESEY/ WHO/ FELL/ IN THE/ GREAT/ WAR/ 1914/ 1919 while the remaining three faces list those who lost their lives.

Beneath the principal inscription is small rectangular bronze plaque which was added following the end of the Second World War, reading ALSO THOSE/ WHO DIED/ 1939-45. The column stands on a two-stepped base in a paved area. Three steps, enclosed by a low wall, lead up to the memorial on the south-east side.
