When H.G. Wells wrote 'The War of the Worlds' he sited the first landing of the Martians at Horsell Common, just outside of Woking. This statue, by Michael Condron, of one of the Martian Tripods, erected in 1988, celebrates the 100 year centenary of the book. Refer to picture Image for details relating to the plaque beneath the statue.
