Description
The War Memorial in the churchyard of the Church of St John in Redhill, Surrey, was unveiled in May 1920 and designed by Frank Loughborough Pearson. It is situated near the eastern end of the church.
The memorial is made of carved Northampton stone and features a plinth, base, and shaft that supports a lantern head. The monument has a plinth consisting of two steps, topped by a square tapered base. The eastern face of the base is inscribed with the words: ‘IN MEMORY OF / THOSE OF THIS PARISH / AND CONGREGATION / WHO FELL IN THE GREAT WAR / 1914 – 1918 / THEIR NAME LIVETH / FOR EVERMORE’. Below this, it also states ‘AND IN MEMORY OF THOSE / WHO FELL IN THE SECOND WORLD WAR / 1939 – 1945’. Above the base is an octagonal tapered shaft, with each side shallowly fluted. The square lantern rests on the shaft head, which is adorned with carved foliage. Each of the four sides of the lantern features a niche with cusped heads and colonettes, housing statues of the patron saints of the United Kingdom’s member countries: St George, St David, St Andrew, and St Patrick. The circular cap is supported by a cluster of colonettes and culminates in a conical cap with a knop finial.
