Busbridge War Memorial

Busbridge War Memorial is a Grade II* listed war memorial located in the churchyard of St John the Baptist Church along Brighton Road. The structure displays architectural features characteristic of English commemorative monuments and sits within the established church grounds.

The memorial was designed in 1922 as part of a nationwide response to honor soldiers who died during World War I. It stands as one of a series of similar monuments created during this period of national remembrance.

The memorial serves as a gathering place for the Busbridge community during annual remembrance ceremonies and national commemorations. People come together to honor those who died in service and reflect on shared sacrifice.

The memorial is located on the Brighton Road within the church grounds of St John the Baptist and can be reached by walking from the road. Parking is available near the church building if you are arriving by car.

The names of fallen soldiers from the local area are preserved inside the adjacent church, creating a lasting record within the sacred space. This arrangement links the outdoor memorial with an interior space of remembrance.
