Background
History
The war memorial in Memorial Park consists of a sculpture in Carrara marble on a pedestal of Cornish grey granite. The sculpture depicts a soldier and a sailor standing across a cairn, holding a flag. The pedestal consists of a pillar with a moulded and dentilled cornice and base and corner pilasters, on a plinth with a laurel wreath in relief. This stands on a stepped base and the memorial is surrounded by a low circular kerb. On the pedestal are inscriptions and the names of those lost in the two World Wars. The memorial has been Grade II* listed since 12 February 2018.
