About the memorial: There are two linked WW1 memorials in Christ Church Southgate. The memorial tablet and our oak pulpit, which replaced the original stone pulpit, cost £128 (approximately £6,000 today) with funds donated by members of the parish. Four designs were obtained by the Vicar and churchwardens. The London Metropolitan Archives contains the plans of the winning design, by Charles Marriott Oldrid Scott – grandson of George Gilbert Scott, who designed our church. Permission from the bishop for the work was obtained in February 1920 following a special “vestry” meeting. The oak pulpit contains sculptures of three “soldier saints” – St Alban, St George and St Martin. The war memorial tablet is carved from Hopton Wood Limestone with the names of the fallen cast in four bronze panels. A strike at the quarry and problems encountered during the casting process delayed the completion of the memorial (due to be unveiled in December 1920). It was not until Sunday 19th December 1921 that the memorials were dedicated by the Lord Bishop of Willesden at a special service attended by 150 relatives of the fallen. The pulpit was unveiled by the Right Hon. Lord Inverforth, who by that time had bought Arnos Grove from the Walker Family.
