Stubbington War Memorial

The Stubbington War Memorial is a First World War memorial built in 1922 by Arthur Tribbeck. It features a timber shelter with a clay-tiled roof that covers a central limestone pillar, all set within a circular wall made of ashlar blocks.

The memorial has a square-plan shelter that encases a circular stone memorial, located in the public garden on Stubbington Gardens. The shelter is supported by four corner posts set on stone bases, with paired braces leading to the roof structure, reinforced by iron straps. The roof is pitched and hipped, clad in clay tiles. Each side of the shelter has tongue-and-groove slatted gable fronts, adorned with a central wreath emblem and relief-carved inscriptions in Gothic script that read: “1914 - 1919 / OUR GLORIOUS DEAD / FAITHFUL UNTO DEATH / LEST WE FORGET.” Inside the shelter, the names of the fallen from the conflict are carved onto wooden panels affixed to the inner walls. The seats in each corner are later additions, not present in the 1922 dedication photographs but visible in later photographs from the 1960s.
