Description

The war memorial in Coronation Park, located on Low Road in Conisbrough, was created around 1920 by sculptors Tyas and Guest from Swinton. It is made of ashlar sandstone and features a three-step plinth supporting a stylised square Doric column topped with a life-size statue. The column's base has re-entrant corners and fasces decoration around the top. Each face of the column displays bronze plaques that list the names of the men from Conisbrough who lost their lives in the Great War. The well-carved statue depicts an infantryman holding a gun, although the fixed bayonet is missing, and he faces to his left in front of a broken tree stump. Similar memorials by the same sculptors can be found at Stainforth Cemetery and at Thorpe Hesley Church of The Holy Trinity in Rotherham.
