Tooting (All Saints) War Memorial

Heritage listing

Details Tall octagonal stone shaft surmounted by a gabled cross. This rests on a plinth, each face of which bears a decorated shield representing the Instruments of the Passion. They are - front: the Cross; right: IOS (an ancient term denoting Christ); back: the pillar and whips, representing the Flagellation of Christ; and left: the ladder of the Deposition, with crossing Holy Sponge and Holy Lance. The plinth rests on a three-tiered platform - the top a square and the middle and bottom both octagons. The bottom tier contains four sloping steps, in line with the shields on the plinth, each bearing a wooden panel bearing the names of the Fallen. The back panel also bears the inscription: To the Glory of God and in Ever Grateful / Memory of the Men of this Church and Parish / Who Fighting in Many Lands in the Great War / Passed on Through Death to the Life Beyond.
