Description
Fetcham War Memorial is located at the south-east corner of the Garden of Remembrance on The Ridgeway. Standing approximately 4 meters tall, this stone memorial features a Latin cross with a moulded foot, which rises from a tapering octagonal shaft. The broach-stopped foot of the cross shaft is set on a chamfered octagonal plinth, which in turn rests on a three-stepped base. The steps are of unequal heights and rise from an octagonal stone pavement, with the lowest step designed with a narrow overhang to allow for the placement of floral tributes.
Inscriptions are carved into the faces of the plinth and the upper step. The main dedication on the front face of the plinth reads: "IN MEMORY OF/ THE MEN OF FETCHAM/ WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES/ FOR KING & COUNTRY/ IN THE GREAT WARS/ 1914 – 1919/ 1939 – 1945." The names of those who served in the First World War are carved around the step, while the names from the Second World War are inscribed around the plinth.
