Description
The Staplefield War Memorial is a First World War memorial designed by Messrs Maile and Son of London and unveiled in 1921, with dates from the Second World War added later.
Constructed from granite with lead lettering, the memorial is situated on Staplefield Common at the junction of Cuckfield Road and Brantridge Lane, enclosed by a modern post and chain fence. It features a wheel-headed cross on a rough-hewn base, standing on a single square step with a paved surround. The front face of the cross displays an inverted sword carved in relief.
A smoothed recessed panel on the front face of the base is inscribed with the words: "TO THE GLORY OF GOD/ AND IN HONOUR OF THOSE MEN OF/ STAPLEFIELD/ WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES IN THE GREAT WARS/ 1914 - 1918 AND 1939 - 1945/ THEIR NAMES ARE INSCRIBED ON THE TABLET IN THE CHURCH."
