About the memorial: Boundary wall with railings and steps, and with war memorial. 1900 and 1920. Stone, cast-iron, polished granite. A low rubble wall with weathered stone coping at approx 1m height to the left, and approx 1.5m to the right has square piers to flat domed square cappings at each end, and in 2 pairs at the entrance to short flights of concrete steps with quarter landings. The wall extends the width of the frontage of the main building. Linking the piers is a low railing with scrolled balustrade. The ensemble is centred to the main entrance to the Town Hall (qv), at the back of the pavement and retaining the forecourt. At the upper level, flanked by the steps, is the granite war memorial in the form of an unfluted Doric column to a square abacus on echinus in egg-and-dart carrying a ball finial. This stands on a square rock-faced granite plinth, with polished panels bearing the names of those lost in both the 1914/1918 and 1939/1945 wars, and a stylobate of 3 square granite steps, with polished treads but rock-faced risers, enclosed in a low iron railing. c Historic England Listing information
