St Mary Magdalene war memorial is a stone wall plaque set into the external wall of St Mary Magdalene church. The plaque has a figure of Christ on the cross in the centre with a figure to either side. The church is located in Munster Square, Camden. The memorial is in Regents Park conservation area.
In 2017, a grant of £5,870 was awarded through War Memorials Trust Grants Scheme. It supported repair and conservation works which included cleaning of the stonework by hand and re-pointing the joints in lime mortar. There were some areas of damage to the stonework of the memorial which required specialist repairs using lime mortar to reduce the rate of further deterioration.
SmartWater was also applied to the war memorial as part of the In Memoriam 2014 project seeking to deter the theft of metal from war memorials.
The memorial was designed by Paul Waterhouse.
