Eastbourne War Memorial

The Eastbourne War Memorial is a granite structure located on the roundabout at the top of Devonshire Place. It features a tall square pedestal that supports a bronze figure of the Angel of Victory. This figure stands with one foot on a wreathed globe, holding a sword and a wreath aloft. The pedestal has a stepped top above a cavetto cornice, adorned with bronze mounts of winged cherubic heads at the top corners and dolphins at the bottom, along with a moulded base.

On the front south face of the pedestal, there is a bronze wreath above a plaque with raised lettering that reads: "THE TRIBUTE OF/EASTBOURNE/TO HER GALLANT/SONS AND DAUGHTERS/WHO WERE FAITHFUL/UNTO DEATH/IN THE GREAT WAR/1914 – 1918/THEIR NAMES/ARE RECORDED/ON OAK TABLETS/IN THE TOWN HALL." The plinth has a moulded base and is elevated on two steps.

Additionally, a matching plaque has been added to the north face, which features the words "WORLD/WAR/II" within a wreath, along with the inscription "THOSE WHO DIED/1939 – 1945 WE/WILL/REMEMBER THEM." On the east side, there is a mismatched plaque for subsequent conflicts, which includes a gilded border, a wreath, and lettering.
