Worthing War Memorial

The Worthing War Memorial is a First World War memorial that was unveiled in 1921, with additional dates and names from later conflicts added. It is made of stone and bronze.

The memorial features a tall square plinth set on a stepped base. Atop the plinth is a bronze sculpture of a soldier, who holds a rifle in his left hand and raises his helmet in his right hand. Each side of the plinth is adorned with a bronze wreath.

Facing north-east, the base of the memorial bears the inscriptions: "OUR GLORIOUS DEAD / 1914-1918 / DUTY NOBLY DONE," and below this, "ALSO IN MEMORY OF THOSE WHO FELL IN THE WAR / 1939-45." On the rear of the memorial, it states: "THIS MEMORIAL / WAS ERECTED BY PUBLIC SUBSCRIPTION / RAISED THROUGH THE WORTHING GAZETTE / IT WAS UNVEILED BY / FIELD-MARSHAL SIR WILLIAM ROBERTSON BART GCB / ON 11th APRIL 1921."

The faces of the plinth and base are inscribed with the names of 660 individuals from the First World War and 404 from the Second World War. The memorial is enclosed by a chain linked to low stone bollards at each corner of the base, and it is located outside the Grade II-listed Worthing Town Hall, which was built between 1933 and 1934.
