Description
The Chaddesden War Memorial is a war memorial plaque that was unveiled and dedicated in 1923, sculpted by A Warren of Derby. It consists of a marble plaque with a sandstone surround, set within a roughcast rendered brick wall.
The memorial features a rectangular marble plaque framed by a plain sandstone surround and a moulded sandstone cornice. The frame has a stepped design, adorned with floral sprigs in relief at the top corners and a laurel wreath with crossed rifle and sword in relief at the head. The inscription on the plaque reads: 'IN GLORIOUS MEMORY / OF THE MEN OF CHADDESDEN WHO FELL IN THE GREAT WAR / 1914-1918 / [Names] / AND GRATITUDE TO THOSE WHO SERVED'. Below the plaque, there is a sandstone shelf with an iron rail at the front for laying wreaths. The plaque is set within a recess in a wall made of roughcast rendered brick, which has piers topped with sandstone dome finials.
