Description
The memorial comprises a Doric column of grey granite surmounted by a bronze statue of St George by Sir George Frampton RA. The column rises from a square, two-stage plinth , itself set on a shallow three-stage square base. Overall, the memorial is 10m tall. Inscriptions on the upper stage of the plinth read: (North): MCMXIV /TO/ MCMXIX/ 1914-19 1939-45 / IN EVER/ GLORIOUS MEMORY/ OF/ HOVE CITIZENS/ WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES/ FOR THEIR COUNTRY/ IN THE/GREAT WAR/ AND WORLD WAR
(East): MCMXXXIX/ TO/ MCMXLV
(South): MCMXIV/ TO/ MCMXIX/ THEIR NAME/ LIVETH/ FOR EVERMORE
(West): MCMXXXIX/ TO/ MCMXLV
Low stone bollards stand outside the four corners of the memorial; these are original components. Immediately alongside each is metal lamp pillar. These are modern, and are not of special interest.
