Description
Chilworth War Memorial is a First World War memorial located in a small landscaped area at the eastern end of Chilworth village, along Dorking Road.
The memorial features a stone Latin cross that rises from a square plinth with a chamfered top and moulded foot, which sits atop a three-stepped octagonal base. An inverted bronze sword is attached to the front of the cross, resembling the Blomfield Cross of Sacrifice. Bronze plaques are mounted on three sides of the plinth; one plaque displays the main inscription, while the names of six individuals are listed on the other two plaques. The main inscription, presented in relief lettering on the front face, reads: IN GRATITUDE TO/ ALMIGHTY GOD/ FOR THE GLORIOUS MEMORY/ OF THOSE WHO GOING FORTH / FROM THIS PARISH OF SAINT/ MARTHA GAVE THEIR LIVES/ IN THE GREAT WAR/ 1914 – 1919. Below this, the words: HOLD SUCH/ IN/ HONOUR are incised into the upper step of the base.
The memorial is set on a square, paved area that is bordered by shrubs, with a path leading from the road up to the memorial.
