Description

The Lingfield War Memorial is located at the southern end of Gun Pond, at the junction of Palistow Street and High Street. It is approximately 40 meters southeast of the scheduled and Grade I-listed St Peter's Cross and Village Cage, and opposite Magnus Deo, which is Grade II*. The memorial features a tall stone lantern cross, with the lantern rising from the collar of the tapering cross shaft, which is octagonal in shape. At the top, it is surmounted by a small Latin cross. The cross shaft is supported by a square pedestal that stands on a low square base.

Each face of the pedestal displays a circular bronze plaque. Each plaque features a be-ribboned wreath, within which the inscriptions read "OUR GLORIOUS DEAD" followed by the names of those commemorated. The names from the First World War include the service rank of each individual. A rectangular metal plaque at the base of the south face of the pedestal states "REBUILT BY PUBLIC SUBSCRIPTION AND RE-DEDICATED 1981." The tread on the south side of the base is inscribed with "YOU ARE REMINDED THAT THIS IS HALLOWED GROUND."

The memorial is set back from the pavement on a paved area and is surrounded at the rear and sides by a continuation of the brick wall that encloses Gun Pond. Four rectangular bronze plaques are affixed to this brick wall, listing the names of those who died in the Second World War, including each man's rank, and are bordered with stylised laurel leaves.
