Description
The North Wales Heroes Memorial is a Tudor-style, two-storey gateway built from ashlar masonry. It features a crenellated parapet, a cornice, and a panelled band at the first-floor level with sunk shields, as well as a plinth. To the right, there is a taller octagonal stair tower with arched-headed lights. The parapet and cornice extend over a mullioned and transomed oriel window with leaded panes. Above this window, there are carved bosses on the cornice, with uncarved bosses on either side and a panelled apron below that bears a Welsh inscription. The central entrance is slightly set back and features a 4-centred arch with foliage-carved spandrels and a dragon-stopped label, leading to timber gates. There are paired windows on either side of the entrance.
The rear (north side) of the building is similar in design. A panelled band continues around the left side, which has an advanced centre and a two-light mullion and transom window under a Tudor label.
Inside, the passageway has stop-chamfered beams supported by stone corbels. There is a porter's door to the left with a window and a similar door to the right that features a coat of arms.
A foundation stone inscribed with the architect's name and a plaque indicates that the memorial was erected in memory of the men of North Wales who fell in the Great War from 1914 to 1918.
The rectangular upper room, accessed by a stone staircase, has wood-carved panels all around that list the names of 8,500 individuals identified by the parish. It also features double bronze doors with coats of arms and a panelled ceiling with broad ribs.
