Bridley Manor War Memorial

Bridley Manor War Memorial is a war memorial erected in 1922 and designed by the London Necropolis Company Ltd. It is made of rough-hewn Cornish granite and features a Celtic cross with a tapering, square-section shaft. The cross is supported by a tapering base on a single-stepped rectangular plinth. On the front face of the cross, there is a stylized sword, point down, carved in low relief, with the cross-guard aligned with the arms of the cross. A carved panel on the front face of the base bears the inscription: "LEST WE FORGET"/ TO THE GLORY OF GOD/ AND IN THE HONOURED MEMORY/ OF THOSE OF OUR FORCES/ WHO PASSED THIS SPOT/ AND WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES/ FOR THE COUNTRY/ IN THE GREAT WAR/ 1914-1918. The memorial is situated in the centre of a small green at the junction of Bagshot Road and Berry Lane, close to Fox Corner in Pirbright.
