Description
The Wyke and Normandy War Memorial Cross is a Grade II listed structure located on the north side of Guildford Road, at the junction with Hunts Hill Road. This memorial features a tall granite wheel-head cross that rises from a tapering square plinth, which has a two-stepped base. The inscriptions are made of metal lettering painted black and are found on the plinth and the steps.
The main dedicatory inscription on the front face of the plinth reads: "TO THE GLORIOUS MEMORY OF/ THE INHABITANTS OF WYKE AND NORMANDY/ WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES IN THE GREAT WAR/ 1914 – 1919/ “WHO DIES IF ENGLAND LIVE”/ (NAMES)." The two side faces of the plinth list further names, with those who served in the Royal Navy and the Queen’s Royal West Surrey Regiment grouped together, while the names of soldiers from other regiments and corps are recorded collectively.
On the front face of the top step, there is an inscription that states: "THE ROLL OF HONOUR OF WYKE AND NORMANDY PARISH/ 1939 – 1945," with the names commemorating those who served in the Second World War recorded on the front face of the lower step and on the sides of both steps.
The memorial is situated in a small area of crazy-paving and is enclosed by posts that carry a chain.
