Bromley Parish Church Memorial, War memorial at St Peter and St Paul's Church in Bromley, England
Bromley Parish Church Memorial is a war memorial made of Portland limestone located in the churchyard of St. Peter and St. Paul's Church. It features a Gothic-style cross with carved figures of Saint Michael, Saint George, Victory, and Peace positioned at its base.
The memorial was designed by sculptor Sydney March and unveiled on 20 March 1921 by Major General Sir John Raynsford Longley following the First World War. It survived the 1941 bombing campaign that destroyed most of Bromley Parish Church.
The memorial stands in the churchyard and commemorates local residents who lost their lives during the First World War. The figures carved at its base express meanings that shaped how the community remembers this period.
The memorial is located in the churchyard beside the building on Church Road and is freely accessible from outside. Visitors should treat it respectfully as it is a Grade II listed structure with protected status.
The memorial survived the 1941 destruction that obliterated most of the church building, which had to be rebuilt afterward. This survival makes it a rare wartime witness that preserves its original condition from the early post-war period.
