War Memorial

The war memorial located on High Street in Winsford commemorates those who served in the Boer War. It was presented by public subscription in 1906. The memorial features a yellow sandstone ashlar base with a grey granite body and a white marble statue. It has a stepped base with canted corners and two steps. The granite plinth has a moulded top that bears an inscription. The body of the monument includes a relief cartouche and a pennant inscribed with "DULCE ET DECORUM EST PRO PATRIA MORI." The cartouche lists the names of Winsford men who died while serving in the South African campaign from 1899 to 1902.

On the base, there is an inscription noting that the memorial was unveiled by General Ridley C.B. on November 24, 1906, with the names of Arthur Hamlett, Chairman, and Jno. H. Cooke, Clerk of the Winsford Urban District Council. The left side of the memorial is inscribed at the top with the names of Winsford men who served in the regular army and survived, while the right side lists those who served as volunteers and survived, including a section for the St John's ambulance brigade.

Above this section, there is a moulded cornice supporting a white marble effigy of a soldier leaning on his upturned rifle, with a tree trunk as support for his right leg.
