Details The memorial takes the form of a tall, rough-hewn, white granite Celtic cross on a deep three-stepped hexagonal base. The head of the cross is carved with a tree and a central crucifix. Towards the base of the shaft is a carved laurel wreath and crown. On the other side, the head of the cross is carved with Celtic designs and a central crown, and a sword on the shaft. Spread between the three steps at the base is the following inscription: TO / THE GLORY OF GOD / AND / TO THE LASTING HONOUR OF THE / INHABITANTS OF EPSOM / AND EWELL / WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES / IN THE GREAT WAR 1914 – 1918 / AND THE WORLD WAR 1939 – 1945 / THEIR REWARD ALSO IS WITH THE LORD AND THE CARE OF THEM IS WITH THE MOST HIGH Behind the cross is a wall, also of granite, which bears the Roll of Honour. To either side of the wall are two memorial gates in a neo-Classical style, and a granite dwarf wall with railings. The walls, gates and railings form part of the boundary of Epsom Cemetery, as well as part of the memorial.
