Sutton High Street runs parallel to Throwley Way, fifty yards to the west.

This house passed to the then Sutton Urban District Council (SUDC) in 1914, who created the park from its grounds, which had at the time become overgrown.

The memorial was unveiled at a service in June 1921 by Sir Ralph Forster, a wealthy local resident whose son died in the war.

As well as the plaques containing names of the fallen, it has four panels, one containing an inscription, and the other three containing the emblems representing the Army, Navy and Royal Air Force.

Their name liveth for evermore.The park's iconic water fountain was installed in 1924 to 1925, when it was donated by the chairman of the SUDC, Councillor Charles Yates.

It was erected using UK produced straw-bales and natural sustainable materials, giving the building a potential lifespan of over 200 years.
