Fetcham War Memorial

Fetcham War Memorial stands at the south-east corner of the Garden of Remembrance on The Ridgeway. Approximately 4m tall, the stone memorial comprises a Latin cross with a moulded foot, rising from a tapering octagonal shaft. The broach-stopped foot of the cross shaft stands on a chamfered octagonal plinth. That stands on a three-stepped base. The steps, of unequal heights, rise from an octagonal stone pavement. The lowest step has a narrow overhang, for the placement of floral tributes.

The inscriptions are carved into the faces of the plinth and the upper step. The principal 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 First World War names are carved around the step; the Second World War names around the plinth.
