It commemorates the men of the district who died in the first and second World Wars and is in the form of an octagonal base below a pedestal surmounted by a tapering column with a Celtic cross head. The cross is intersected by a corona in a flattened octagonal section. It was unveiled by Lord Byng of Vimy in April 1921.[1] Byng was born at nearby Wrotham Park in Hertfordshire.[2] References1. ^Chipping Barnet. Imperial War Museums.
