Uxbridge War Memorial

The Uxbridge War Memorial is a war memorial designed by the sculptor Captain Adrian Jones, dedicated in 1924, with a Second World War dedication added later. It was relocated to its current position in 1972.

Constructed from rough-hewn granite, the memorial features a bronze statue and leaded lettering. It stands in a former burial ground that is now a public garden. The structure consists of a square tapering column with a Corinthian capital, resting on an octagonal base and a three-step plinth. At the top of the column is a bronze figure of Winged Victory, who holds a laurel wreath in her right hand, symbolizing victory, and an olive branch in her left hand, symbolizing peace. At her feet are a British soldier's steel helmet and a cartridge bandolier, representing loss.

On the front of the base, a leaded inscription reads: "ERECTED IN HONOUR AND MEMORY OF ALL THOSE MEN AND WOMEN OF UXBRIDGE WHO SERVED OR FELL IN THE GREAT WAR 1914-1918 AN EXPRESSION OF GRATITUDE FROM THEIR FELLOW TOWNSMEN." Additional inscriptions around the base include: "SONS OF THIS PLACE LET THIS OF YOU BE SAID THAT YOU WHO LIVE ARE WORTHY OF YOUR DEAD THEY GAVE THEIR LIVES THAT YOU IN PEACE MAY REAP A RICHER HARVEST ERE YOU FALL ASLEEP" and "IN MEMORIAM 1939-1945."
