  • Croydon Cenotaph is a war memorial, in Croydon, London, England. It is located outside the Croydon Clocktower arts complex (historically Croydon Town Hall), on Katharine Street in Croydon. The cenotaph, made from Portland stone, was designed by ARIBA and was unveiled on 22 October 1921, to commemorate local victims of the First World War. It is framed by two bronze statues of seated figures by Paul Raphael Montford, cast at the M. Maneti foundry. One depicts a soldier of the East Surrey Regiment, dressing his own wounded arm; the other a woman holding a child in her left arm and a letter in her outstretched right hand: her distress is evident, and "[w]e must presume that the news of her husband's perhaps fatal wounds has just reached her". The figure of the soldier was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1921. The cenotaph's inscription reads: 1914 ⋅ 19181939 ⋅ 1945 AND IN MEMORY OF THOSE WHO LOST THEIR LIVES INWARS AND CONFLICTS SINCEA TRIBUTE TO THE MENAND WOMEN OF CROYDON WHO DIED AND SUFFERED The dates "1939 ⋅ 1945" were added after the end of the Second World War. The lines "AND IN MEMORY ... SINCE" were added in 1997. The cenotaph was granted Grade II listed status on 19 November 1973, both in its own right and as part of a group of municipal buildings, legally protecting it from unauthorised modification or demolition. Its status was upgraded to Grade II* on 27 July 2017. A roll of honour is kept in the library. (en)
