Normandy war memorial is located on Guildford Road in Normandy, Surrey. The granite wheel cross stands on a tapering plinth on a two-stepped base. The inscription is in lead lettering painted black and commemorates those who died in both World Wars.
In 2015 a grant of £1,370 was offered through War Memorials Trust Grants Scheme for repair and conservation works. The memorial was steam cleaned to make the inscription legible, where needed the lead lettering was painted black to match the existing and as part of the In Memoriam 2014 initiative SmartWater was applied. The project was completed in 2016 with a service in September attended by one of the Trust's Regional Volunteers.
The memorial was erected after World War I and further names added after World War II.
