Description

The Epsom War Memorial is a tall, rough-hewn white granite Celtic cross set on a deep three-stepped hexagonal base. The head of the cross features a carving of a tree and a central crucifix, while the shaft displays a carved laurel wreath and crown near the base. On the opposite side, the head of the cross is adorned with Celtic designs, a central crown, and a sword on the shaft.

Inscribed on the three steps at the base is the following text:

TO / THE GLORY OF GOD / AND / TO THE LASTING HONOUR OF THE / INHABITANTS OF EPSOM / AND EWELL / WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES / IN THE GREAT WAR 1914 – 1918 / AND THE WORLD WAR 1939 – 1945 / THEIR REWARD ALSO IS WITH THE LORD AND THE CARE OF THEM IS WITH THE MOST HIGH

Behind the cross is a granite wall that displays the Roll of Honour. Flanking the wall are two neo-Classical memorial gates and a granite dwarf wall with railings. These walls, gates, and railings are part of the boundary of Epsom Cemetery and contribute to the memorial's overall significance.
