A new memorial stands in the High Street on the north side of the river. It was dedicated by the Bishop of Tonbridge on 11th November 2004, and is not intended to replace the existing memorials, but to commemorate, in a more prominent position in the town, all those who have lost their lives in service of the community in peace as well as war.
The memorial was created by Tonbridge sculptor Peter Hills.
