The war memorial in Bridgnorth, located in the Castle Grounds, was built around 1920 by Captain Adrian Jones to commemorate those who died in the First World War. It features a large red sandstone ashlar pedestal that stands on a stepped base, topped by a large bronze figure of a soldier in battle dress. The pedestal is adorned with bronze plaques that list the names of individuals who were killed in both the First and Second World Wars.
