Description
The Old Boys of Vicarage Street School War Memorial is a First World War memorial erected between 1919 and 1939, with the architect remaining unknown. It is made from carved limestone and is situated within the churchyard of St Nicolas, which is a Grade I-Listed building.
The memorial features a limestone Latin wheel cross with a decorated collar, positioned on an octagonal shaft that rises from a cross-shaped plinth set on a two-stepped base. The inscriptions on the plinth commemorate the souls of the masters and old boys of Vicarage Street Church School in Nuneaton who fell in the Great War from 1914 to 1918. The text includes: "+ REMEMBER BEFORE GOD + / THE SOULS OF THE MASTERS AND OF THE OLD BOYS / OF THE VICARAGE STREET CHURCH SCHOOL NUNEATON / WHO FELL IN THE GREAT WAR 1914 – 1918 / 'MAY THEY REST IN PEACE' / (NAMES) / THE MEMORIAL WAS REMOVED TO THE CHURCHYARD AND RESTORED IN 1985 / RE-DEDICATED TO THE FALLEN OF THE 1939 - 1945 WAR AND SINCE / FROM THIS COMMUNITY / THEY ARE AT PEACE NOW / 'LORD MAKE US INSTRUMENTS OF YOUR PEACE'."
