Description
Horndean War Memorial is located in a small garden in Horndean Square, in front of the Grade II-listed Red Lion Inn. Made of Portland stone, the memorial features a statue of Nike, the Greek goddess of victory, which sits atop an outsailing cornice of a tall, square column. This column rises from a tapering, square plinth that stands on a three-stepped, square base. Nike is depicted without wings, crowned, with her left arm raised and an inverted sword in her right hand.
The front face of the column displays the main dedication: "ERECTED BY PUBLIC SUBSCRIPTION TO THE MEMORY OF THE MEN WHOSE NAMES ARE INSCRIBED WHO WENT FROM THIS COUNTRY-SIDE AT THE CALL OF DUTY AND LAID DOWN THEIR LIVES IN THE GREAT WAR 1914 - 1919 'IN THE EVENING AND IN THE MORNING WE WILL REMEMBER THEM.'" The names of those who died in the First World War are inscribed on the other faces of the column.
The front face of the plinth includes an inscription that reads: "ALSO TO THOSE WHO FELL IN THE WORLD WAR 1939 – 1945 AND IN ALL CONFLICTS." The names of the men who fell in the Second World War are listed on the sides of the plinth. Additionally, an inscription at the base of the plinth states "CONFLICTS SINCE 1945," followed by the name of a soldier killed in Afghanistan.
The garden surrounding the memorial is separated from the pavement by low metal bollards, and modern brick paving provides access to the memorial, though these features are not of special interest.
