About the memorial: This war memorial includes work by, or attributed to, Eric Gill. War Memorials Trust recognises that Gill is a controversial artist. However, this website records war memorials so any artistic work should be considered as a war memorial. It commemorates those impacted by war, rather than being about the artists, craftspeople or contractors who created it. Links are provided via the Links tab for anyone seeking further information about Gill. A bronze sculpture of St George and the Dragon by Alexander Fisher, mounted upon a stone column and plinth by Sir Philip Stott, with the inscription carved by Eric Gill.
