Description

The Hope (Boer War) Memorial is designed in the Classical style. It features a lobed square base with a wreathed tablet and apron on the north face, inscribed with the words, "This memorial was erected by public subscription to the honoured memory of Beeston soldiers who lost their lives during the Boer Campaign 1899-1902 in the cause of a united Empire." The south face also has a wreathed inscribed tablet. Above this, there is a stepped lobed base that supports a life-size female figure, known as 'Hope', along with a cenotaph.
