Description
The Edmonton War Memorial is made of Cornish granite and is situated on Edmonton Green. It features a four-stepped base topped with a plinth and cenotaph. The front face displays a bronze Sword of Sacrifice with a wreath at the top of the hilt.
An inscription on the front reads: "TO OUR GLORIOUS DEAD/ ERECTED/ BY THE PEOPLE OF/ EDMONTON/ IN LOVING AND GRATEFUL MEMORY OF/ HER SONS WHO FELL/ IN THE GREAT WAR/ 1914 – 1918/ AND THE WORLD WAR/ 1939 – 1945/ GREATER LOVE HATH NO MAN THAN THIS."
The side faces include the inscriptions: "THEIR NAME LIVETH FOR EVERMORE" and "PASS NOT WITHOUT REMEMBRANCE."
The memorial is enclosed by a stone kerb, with low stone posts and a connecting chain-link fence. The two main posts at the entrance also feature a bronze wreath.
