Description
The Pyrford War Memorial is located prominently beside the Church of St Nicholas on the main road through Pyrford village.
The memorial features a plain Cornish granite cross that sits atop an octagonal tapered column, which is mounted on an octagonal plinth. This structure is raised on a three-stepped base.
Inscriptions and names are carved into the north faces of the plinth. The main inscription reads: 1914-1918/ OUR/ GLORIOUS/ DEAD. There are twenty-four names of individuals who lost their lives in the First World War inscribed in black raised lettering on two faces. Additional names are recorded on two of the west faces, with the inscription reading 1939-1945, followed by 22 names of those who lost their lives in the Second World War. The remaining faces of the memorial are blank.
