War Memorial Statue, Coundon


War Memorial statue


Type: War Memorial

Memorial statue of an infantryman at the junction of Wharton Street and Church Street. Soldier stands on a squared plinth atop a pedestal with rounded edges and a step. Originally unveiled in 1921, the soldier statue was removed in the 1960’s due to damage caused by vandalism. The statue was stored in a stonemasons yard until it was restored and eventually replaced on top of the memorial in 2007.
