Description

The War Memorial at Shrewsbury School, designed by A.G. Walker, was completed in 1923. It features a bronze figure of Sir Philip Sidney set on a high ashlar base, which is raised up steps. The base is adorned with fasces at the corners, along with inscriptions and low relief decorations on the main sides. A curved wall flanking the memorial is inscribed with the names of those who died in World War II.
