Description
The Madeley War Memorial is made of Portland stone and features an obelisk on top of a two-staged square chamfered plinth. The front face of the obelisk displays a Sword of Sacrifice and a wreath carved in relief. Below this, there is a recessed panel with the main dedicatory inscription that reads: "TO THE GLORIOUS MEMORY OF THOSE MADELEY MEN WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES IN THE GREAT WARS 1914 – 1919 1939 – 1945."
Names of the fallen are inscribed in black lettering on marble tablets located on all four sides of the plinth, with 99 names from the First World War and 25 from the Second World War. Beneath these names is the inscription "THEIR NAME LIVETH FOR EVERMORE."
The plinth is placed on a single-stepped base.
