It is just over 3m (ten feet) tall and has a tall tapering shaft surmounted by a wheel cross, with the face of the shaft and arms of the cross enriched with an intertwined flowing circular motif. The shaft is mounted on a battered, stepped base in two sections, standing on a shallow, square, granite plinth. It stands in a small polygonal enclosure, created after the Second World War, which is laid in crazy paving and bounded by a low granite kerb with short, square section upstands at the corners and at the midpoints. The base is inscribed TO THE / GLORIOUS MEMORY OF / THE SOUTH MERSTHAM MEN / WHO FELL IN / THE GREAT WARS / 1914-1919 / 1939-1945 // GRANT THEM LORD ETERNAL REST / AND LET LIGHT PERPETUAL SHINE UPON THEM
