About the memorial: The Grade II listed war memorial in the village of Graffham in the South Downs, West Sussex is set back from the main road in a garden. Four steps lead up from the road and a wide paved path approaches the memorial which takes the form of a four sided granite stone column surmounted by an orb. The column is set on a square plinth with mouldings above and below, and has a two-stepped base. A low brick retaining wall runs alongside the road and beside the steps up to the path to the memorial. Previously this entry gave the village church as the address but it is in fact at a road junction to the northeast of the village.
