This tiny plaque sits at the base of a tree in the car park of Homebase (previously the site of Walton Town Hall) just off Newzealand Avenue. It states: “This Kowhat Tree (Sephora Tetraptera) was given by New Zealand High Commission in 1970 in recognition of the Walton & Weybridge people’s support for New Zealand armed forces personnel who were hospitalised or died here during and after World War I. Re-dedicated 30th June 2003 in commemoration of our ongoing association”
