Description
The Boer War memorial, located on the west side of the green in Hurst Green, was built in the early 20th century and is made of sandstone. It features a square base with four steps that support a Celtic cross. The cross is adorned with interlace designs on two faces and vine scroll ornament on the sides. A brass plate on the memorial reads: 'This Cross Commemorates the services of Frederick Sleigh, first Earl Roberts, K.G.V.C. and his companions in arms, the Soldiers and Sailors of the Empire, who fought in South Africa 1899 - 1902'.
