Heaton Chapel and Heaton Moor War Memorial

Heaton Chapel and Heaton Moor War Memorial is a war memorial built in 1921, designed by JH Sellers and sculpted by John Cassidy RBS. It is made of Portland stone, sandstone, and bronze. The memorial features a semi-circular ashlar Portland stone wall behind a square Portland stone pedestal, which stands on a raised apron of sandstone flags. Atop the pedestal is a bronze statue of a soldier in battledress, depicted in a relaxed stance. The wall is finished with piers that have plinths, adorned with bronze wreaths of laurel leaves surrounding an oak branch.

The pedestal includes mouldings and a raised front panel with an incised inscription in serifed lettering that reads, "IN MEMORY OF/ THE MEN OF/ HEATON CHAPEL/ AND/ HEATON MOOR/ WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES/ IN/ THE GREAT WAR/ 1914-1919." Below this, there is a bronze plaque for the 1939-1945 conflict, listing 76 names alphabetically without rank in relief lettering. The left face of the pedestal has a plaque headed 1914-1918, with 59 names listed alphabetically without rank. The rear is inscribed with "THEIR/ NAME/ LIVETH/ FOR/EVERMORE/" and features a bronze plaque with the word "ALSO/" followed by 7 names, including one woman. The right face has a bronze plaque listing 61 names of First World War dead, accompanied by a low relief scene of trench warfare.

The memorial was unveiled on January 30, 1921, and was accepted on behalf of the Borough by Mayor Charles Royal. The original design of the statue, which included an angel and a soldier, was estimated to cost between £1,800 and £2,000. The left panel is a replacement for the original, which was stolen and likely had a similar relief to the right panel. The wall was repaired after sustaining traffic damage in 2000.
