Description

The memorial, which is set within the Promenade outside the Municipal Buildings is listed Grade II. Over the years, there have been a number of interventions and those who lost their lives in subsequent conflicts have been commemorated on inscriptions and plaques that are part of, or affixed to, the balustrade that surrounds the memorial.

The condition of this balustrade and the paving had deteriorated to such an extent that a major project of repair and conservation was carried out in 2014 as the first phase of an overall restoration of the memorial.

The second phase is the restoration of the memorial itself. This has the following objectives:

Restoration of the 1284 names currently carved on to the memorial Restoration of the stone carvings of the memorial Addition of names of Cheltonians who died during World War 1 and are not currently inscribed on the memorial Ensure that the nature of the restoration safeguards the longevity of the memorial as a focus of remembrance and commemoration into the next century.

The work is planned to commence in Spring 2016 with completion by August 2016. Allowance should be made for possible disruption to work for commemoration of the beginning of the Battle of the Somme (allow 3 days of no work).
