Felixstowe War Memorial

The Felixstowe War Memorial, built in 1920, is a significant structure made of Portland stone, featuring a bronze sculpture of a dove and granite tablets. It consists of a tall Corinthian column topped with a carved stone urn, on which a bronze dove is affixed, facing out to sea with its wings extended. The column is placed on a large square plinth, which stands on a three-stepped base.

The main inscription is displayed on a stone tablet on the south-east face of the plinth, stating: "ERECTED BY THE/ PEOPLE OF FELIXSTOWE/ TO THE MEMORY OF THEIR/ MEN WHO WERE KILLED IN/ ACTION OR DIED OF WOUNDS/ OR DISEASE IN THE SERVICE/ OF KING AND COUNTRY/ DURING THE GREAT WAR/ 1914–1918." The names of those who fell in the First World War are listed on tablets attached to the north-east and south-west faces of the plinth.

On the north-west face of the plinth, there is a tablet that reads: "THE SUM OF £1000 WAS/ ALSO SUBSCRIBED BY/ THE TOWNSPEOPLE AND/ GIVEN TO THE ENDOWMENT/ FUND OF THE FELIXSTOWE/ COTTAGE HOSPITAL FOR/ THE ALLEVIATION OF/ HUMAN SUFFERING."

Additionally, four reclining stone tablets made of dark grey polished granite were later placed centrally against the steps on each side of the base. Each tablet is marked with the dates 1939–1945 and lists the names of those who fell in the Second World War in whitened incised lettering.
