Shamley Green War Memorial

Shamley Green War Memorial is located in the churchyard of Christ Church, which is also listed as Grade II, next to the main path leading to the church.

The memorial is designed as a stone Greek cross with cusping on the cross arms, set atop an octagonal shaft that features a moulded collar and a splayed base. This shaft rises from a four-sided plinth with a chamfered top, which sits on a three-stepped octagonal base.

The main inscription is on the east face of the plinth and reads: "TO THE GLORY OF GOD/ AND/ TO THE HONOURED MEMORY OF/ THOSE WHO DIED FOR ENGLAND/ IN THE GREAT WAR./ 1914-1919." Below this, on the uppermost step, is the dedication for the Second World War: "AND IN THE SECOND/ WORLD WAR/ 1939-1945."

On the west face of the plinth, the inscription states: "THE NUMBER WHO JOINED UP/ FOR THE WAR FROM THIS VILLAGE/ WAS 144," which continues on the step below with "AND IN 1939-1945/ 135."

The names of those who died in the First World War are incised on the remaining faces of the plinth, while the names for the Second World War are added to various sides of the top two steps of the base, along with the dates 1939-1945. All lettering is incised and painted black.
