Description
A decorative flagpole base erected to commemorate the boys of the former Ilminster Junior Boys' School who fell during the First World War and their headmaster who died afterwards in 1920.
The Classical style flagpole base (its timber flagpole now missing), constructed in Ilminster stone, a form of reconstituted limestone, consists of a large, cube shaped holder with large decorative volutes to either side, set on a deep plinth on a flat stone base. A bronze plaque attached to its west face reads: 'ERECTED IN MEMORY OF - THE OLD BOYS OF THIS SCHOOL - WHO FELL IN THE GREAT WAR - ALSO OF - THOMAS BIRD EDMONDS - THEIR BELOVED HEADMASTER - WHO DIED FEB 15th 1920'
