Description

The Belgian War Memorial, built around 1920, is located in St Mary's Roman Catholic Cemetery on Harrow Road. It is made of Portland stone and features a rectangular corniced architectural surround that backs onto the cemetery wall. The structure has a blocking course that rises to the center, resembling a pediment. At the center, there are two inset columns with Byzantine style capitals, which support a frieze inscribed with "Belgian soldiers 1914-1918." The memorial also includes a flanking altar with a sculpture of the Pieta, although the sculptor's signature is illegible. Additional inscriptions can be found to the right, left, and below the main inscription.

It experiences an average of 34 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 51% of listed buildings. Of these, 15 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.
