Reigate war memorial
[edit]Reigate has another war memorial in Church Walk, the entrance road to the parish church cemetery. I know nothing about it (except that it exists and is missing from the article) so I'm not going to add anything, but if someone does have any info and/or a decent picture I think it should be included.

- @Bagunceiro: Can you at least supply a photograph? Currently not easy to do. Murgatroyd49 (talk) 09:25, 13 January 2021 (UTC)
@Murgatroyd49, 'fraid not: I'm on the other side of the world now. I did, however, find a few online references, of which https://www.warmemorialsonline.org.uk/memorial/187202&ved=2ahUKEwjcxoHNkJ7uAhUED7kGHenfDNMQFjALegQIEBAB&usg=AOvVaw24z9mXIhag4qP9W7YfLl_S&cshid=1610720360617 the best.

In fact, I see the first photo there has a creative commons license so that could be used. It's quite a good picture. Bagunceiro (talk) 14:28, 15 January 2021 (UTC)
- It's from the geograph project, may already be on Commons, I'll have a search. Murgatroyd49 (talk) 16:17, 15 January 2021 (UTC)
- This is not a war memorial but a Commonwealth War Graves Commission cemetery feature, according to the War Memorial website. Murgatroyd49 (talk) 16:24, 15 January 2021 (UTC)
Whitely Village
[edit]@14GTR: Are you sure the statue is copper and not bronze? The former seems unlikely. Murgatroyd49 (talk) 15:26, 28 January 2021 (UTC)
- The Historic England listing document for the monument, quoting Pevsner, states that it is copper and that is all I have to go on and so is the source I've used. Hope that's clear.14GTR (talk) 16:53, 28 January 2021 (UTC)

Splitting proposal
[edit]- The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.
- The result of this discussion was to split Murgatroyd49 (talk) 13:12, 3 February 2025 (UTC)
As this list is getting quite long, I propose that War memorials section be split off into its own article. A draft version of the new list can be seen at User:Murgatroyd49/sandbox3. Murgatroyd49 (talk) 18:16, 26 January 2025 (UTC)
- Support We think that there are over 150 war memorials in Surrey, of which we have around half on this page at present. The type of memorials varies - the most common type is an outdoor monument (generally in stone) which fits into the scope of this list of public art in Surrey page. Other types of war memorial, such as buildings, parts of buildings, open spaces, indoor tablets and indoor monuments, fall outside the scope of the current list. We would like to cover all of the various war memorials in the county and we feel that a separate dedicated page is best way to do this. The new page title would be War memorials in Surrey or similar. Mertbiol (talk) 18:34, 26 January 2025 (UTC)
