About
The war memorial in Maldon stands in the High Street outside All Saints Church and is a Grade II Listed white stone cross on a plinth and base, with bronze plaques set into the design. It was designed by Chelmsford Architect Wykeham Chancellor and built by Messrs Wray and Fuller.
When it wasunveiled in 1921 by General Henry Horne and dedicated by the Bishop Suffragan of Barking there were 146 names of those killed in the Great War, with a later addition of 42 for World War Two. However, the memorial was rededicated in 2011 with a large number of names which had been missed, bringing it to a total of 248 men and women killed on active service or as civilian casualties. The full list of names and many biographies can be found on the website.
The memorial is flanked by metal benches with silhouettes of wartime soldiers and a silhoutte Tommy.
