Memorial to P.C. George William Gutteridge
At the age of 38 PC Gutteridge was shot dead while on duty and questioning two men he stopped in the early hours of September 27th 1927.

The stone was unveiled by the Essex Chief Constable, Captain A J Unett, in 1928. The bullets and Webley revolver used to kill George Gutteridge are in the Essex Police Museum, whilst other exhibits relating to Browne and Kennedy are in the Black Museum at Scotland Yard.

The memorial stone is situated close to where George Gutteridge was murdered on the Romford to Chipping Ongar Road. The alignment of the road has been changed since 1927 and a short stretch of it has been renamed Gutteridge Lane.

The memorial stone was set at Gutteridge Lane, on the Romford to Chipping Ongar road, midway between the Royal Oak and The Rabbits public houses. His grave is in Warley Cemetery.

Frederick Browne and William Henry “Pat” Kennedy were tried and found guilty of murdering Police Constable George W. Gutteridge and on the 31sy May 1928, they were hanged simultaneously, Browne at Pentonville and Kennedy at Wandsworth
