All Saints war memorial is located in the churchyard of All Saints Fulham, Greater London. This memorial is in the form of a vaulted Portland limestone canopy with pinnacles with decorative crockets over a bronze figure of Christ on a plain timber cross. The inscription on the bronze banner above the figure shows the acronym INRI and bronze dates on the plinth (1914-1918) indicate that the memorial commemorates those who died in World War I. The memorial is within the curtilage of a Grade II* listed church and is located within the Bishops Park Conservation Area.
In 2015 a grant of £5,312 was awarded through War Memorials Trust Grants Scheme towards steam cleaning, removal of soot deposits, repairs to the stone pinnacles, lime mortar repairs and pointing, application of microcrystalline wax and SmartWater to the bronze elements and treatment of the timber cross with teak oil.
The memorial was dedicated in 1923 by the Lord Bishop of London, Right Revd Arthur Winnington Ingram.
