Description

The Chipstead War Memorial is made of Portland stone and is situated on Church Green, facing the entrance to the Church of St Margaret. It features a medieval cross with floriated details that ends in a moulded cap, which is placed atop a tapering octagonal shaft. This shaft rises from an octagonal plinth, which has carved shields of the Bishops of Southwark and Chertsey in arched niches on two of its faces, along with a depiction of George and the Dragon on another face. The entire structure stands on an octagonal two-stepped base.

The main dedication honoring those who fell in the First World War is located within an arched niche on the plinth. It reads: "TO THE/ GLORIOUS MEMORY/ OF THE/ CHIPSTEAD MEN/ WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES/ FOR THEIR COUNTRY/ IN THE GREAT WAR/ 1914 – 1918/ THIS MEMORIAL WAS RAISED/ BY THE PARISHIONERS/ 'THEIR NAME LIVETH FOR EVERMORE'/ ECCLESIASTICUS XLIV 14." The other faces of the plinth contain square niches with the names of the fallen inscribed within them.

Below the First World War dedication, the moulded base of the plinth features a dedication for the Second World War that states: "ALSO OF THOSE/ WHO FELL IN THE WAR OF/ 1939 – 45." The other faces of the moulded plinth base are inscribed with the names of those who fell during the Second World War.
