Description
The Captain Thomas Agar-Robartes Memorial is a granite stone bench dedicated to Captain Thomas Agar-Robartes, unveiled in 1922. It is located at the junction of Park Road and Truro Road, facing roughly northeast.
The memorial features a low bench supported by four curved stone corbels. Surrounding the bench is a structure made of ashlar granite, with piers at each end displaying the dates 1914 and 1919. These piers are topped with slightly moulded ball finials.
Connecting the piers is a wall that includes a central bronze plaque, which has a carved wreath above it. The plaque bears the inscription: "TO THE MEMORY OF/ CAPTAIN THE HON. THOMAS CHARLES/ REGINALD AGAR-ROBARTES/ COLDSTREAM GUARDS, M.P. FOR THE ST./ AUSTELL DIVISION OF CORNWALL, WHO LOST/ HIS LIFE IN FRANCE SEPT. 30TH 1915, AFTER/ RESCUING A WOUNDED COMRADE UNDER/ HEAVY FIRE, FOR WHICH GALLANT EXPLOIT/ HE WAS RECOMMENDED FOR THE VICTORIA/ CROSS. ERECTED BY MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE/ OF LORDS AND OF THE HOUSE OF COMMONS".
The rear of the bench is slightly corbelled out at each end and includes a square recess at one end. In front of the bench, the paving is arranged in three sections, featuring a central circular piece of granite flanked by sections laid in a diamond pattern on each side.
