Description
A First World War memorial, built in 1921; with later additions for the Second World War.
MATERIALS Granite.
DESCRIPTION The memorial takes the form of a granite obelisk with a moulded foot, on a high, square-section pedestal with arcades, an arch on each side. The pedestal is inscribed in black lettering “LEST WE FORGET”/ THIS MEMORIAL WAS ERECTED/ IN THE LASTING MEMORY OF/ THE GALLANT MEN OF THIS/ BOROUGH WHO GAVE THEIR/ LIVES FOR THEIR KING AND/ COUNTRY IN THE GREAT WAR/ 1914-1918, with the names of the 36 men who lost their lives. Below this is a slightly wider section, inscribed AND TO THOSE WHO FELL IN/ THE SECOND WORLD WAR/ 1939-1945 and the names of the 21 men who died in that conflict. The whole stands on a narrow platform of three roughly-hewn granite steps.
