Brimington Memorial Gates

The Brimington Memorial Gates are a First World War memorial erected in 1925, with later additions. They are made of sandstone gate piers, wrought iron gates, and bronze plaques, located at the junction of Broom Gardens and Manor Road.

The memorial features a central pair of rusticated gate piers, flanked by two shorter piers that provide pedestrian access. Low stone walls extend from these piers, supporting railings that form a semicircle and end in rusticated piers. All six piers have a deep moulded cornice topped with a pyramidal capstone. The central four piers display bronze plaques inscribed with the words "TO THE GLORY OF GOD/ ROLL OF HONOUR/ IN SACRED MEMORY OF/ THOSE GALLANT MEN/ OF THIS VILLAGE/ WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES FOR US," followed by the names of the fallen. At the base of two plaques, the years 1939 – 1945 are noted. The two central taller piers feature carved laurel wreaths above the plaques and semicircular stone projections at the base, which may have once supported brackets or decorations.

The decorative wrought iron gates are painted green and include scroll and foliate details that are echoed in the railings. The main gates have two panels that read "1914" and "1918" in gold lettering.
