About the memorial: This is not a war memorial as defined by this website as appears to commeorate the historic event rather than it being in memory of those who served/died. The Yorkists are represented by a 5 meter high horse carrying a knight who holds an 8 meter long stainless steel lance topped with a pennant. This piece is named Victor and is located on the roundabout. The second piece, Vanquished, is a riderless horse and has a similar lance resting across its back. It stands on the opposite verge south of the roundabout and faces the mounted knight. Its head is bowed and represents the defeated Lancastrian army.

As a conservation charity which gives grants War Memorials Trust can support repair and conservation works that follow best conservation practice. Grants are awarded from funds raised by the charity so money available is limited and is therefore focused on eligible war memorials.

War Memorials Trust’s Definition of a war memorial for funding purposes helpsheet explains which war memorials are eligible and ineligible for funding.

As a charity, War Memorials Trust relies on voluntary donations and every contribution, no matter how large or small, makes a really big difference to our work. Your donation will help protect and conserve war memorials for future generations so please support War Memorials Trust’s work.
