Description
The war memorial and screen wall in Brantingham was built in 1922 for Sir John and Lady Sherburn. It is constructed from reclaimed materials following the demolition around 1914 of Cuthbert Brodrick's Hull Town Hall, which was built in 1862. The memorial is primarily made of white limestone, with some fine red sandstone and polished red granite.
The memorial features a raised square plinth with two polished granite cartouches in scrolled ornament on each side. Above this, there are four stumpy Composite columns that enclose a panelled limestone block, one side of which supports a bronze plaque listing the names of fourteen young men. A moulded cornice carries the stepped base to a short Composite column, which, along with the four columns below, supports polygonal, tapering finials.
The screen wall consists of a panelled dwarf wall adorned with rosettes and granite bull's eyes, punctuated by concrete pilasters that carry tapering columns set end to end, forming a massive rail. The wall has polygonal end abutments topped with tapering polygonal finials. Architectural critic Nikolaus Pevsner described this memorial as "one of the most lovably awful things in the East Riding."
