Description
The commemorative flagpole base is located in the grounds of the former Ilminster Junior Boys' School. It was erected to honor the boys of the school who died during the First World War, as well as their headmaster, Thomas Bird Edmonds, who passed away in 1920.
This flagpole base is designed in a Classical style and is made from Ilminster stone, a type of reconstituted limestone. It features a large, cube-shaped holder with prominent decorative volutes on either side, all set on a deep plinth resting on a flat stone base. A bronze plaque on the west face of the base 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'.
