Description
A War Memorial to WWI in the form of an ironwork screen with central gates. Built of limestone ashlar with cast iron railings and gates and bronze plaques. Both the stonework and the bronze have been heavily overpainted. Dwarf stone walls support panels of elaborate ironwork and are punctuated by piers with corniced caps of which the ones to the main gates are taller. Central pair of elaborate iron gates in the early C18 manner and probably inspired by the Pontypool Park gates in Rockhill Road (but see History). The piers have bronze plaques recording the names of the fallen, and one pier carries the inscription 'THIS MEMORIAL TO THE MEN & WOMEN OF THE DISTRICTS OF ABERSYCHAN AND PONTYPOOL WHO MADE THE SUPREME SACRIFICE IN THE GREAT WAR WAS UNVEILED BY MAJOR GENERAL LORD TREOWEN C.B. C.M.G. LORD LIEUTENANT OF MONMOUTHSHIRE DECEMBER 18th 1924'. There is also a smaller footgate.
