Summary
| Description |
English: War Memorial, Montgomery. The fine memorial on Town Hill. See 1088025 for the inscriptions.
"Constructed from Portland stone, it has a square carved plinth and base that is surmounted by a circular stone column topped by a stone capping with ornate cornice. It stands some 50 feet high and at a height of 1050 feet. Listed by CADW as being of architectural importance, it is a truly beautiful structure with inscriptions in both English and Welsh engraved on the base. "The monument was initially built and completed in 1923. A committee chaired by Sir Watkin Williams Wynn raised some £2500 by public subscription. The heavy stone materials were transported by train to Montgomery Station and were carried to the site by motor vehicles and a team of horses ... "... Unfortunately some years ago the area suffered an earth tremor that twisted the column, opening it up in parts and allowing the weather to get in. A local committee was formed in 1998 and with help from the Heritage Lottery, sufficient funds were raised to enable the repair work to be carried out. The work is now completed and the results far exceed expectations. A re-dedication and unveiling ceremony took place on Saturday 5th October 2002" Further details at http://www.bbc.co.uk/wales/mid/sites/montgomery/pages/terry_boundy.shtml |
