Tilford war memorial is located at All Saints Churchyard, Tilford Road, Tildford, Surrey. This memorial is a Portland limestone hooded calvary cross on a tapered column on a square plinth, on a three stepped base. The incised inscriptions on the plinth and a plaque to the rear commemorate those who died in World War I and World War II. The memorial is Grade II listed and within the Tilford Conservation Area.
In 2016 a grant of £2,400 was awarded through the War Memorials Trust Grants Scheme towards cleaning with water and brushes to make the inscription more legible, pointing, steam cleaning the paving and possible sharpening and deepening of the inscription. The actual payment was reduced to £1,580 as it was found that sharpening and deepening was not necessary.
The memorial was in existence in 1923 within the walled enclosure.
