Close to the Square's NW corner, set down at a lower level so that it is not seen to good advantage from any direction, is the City War Memorial, an impressive Portland stone composition by J. G. S. Gibson and W. S. A. Gordon. 1921. The central feature is a cenotaph, rectangular in plan, stepping upwards with plaques carved in relief of marching soldiers, sailors manning a gun, a battleship and a submarine,, and crowned by a sarcophagus. This is backed by a tall semi-circular wall - disguising the railway viaduct behind - with two rounded arches with iron gates. In front are curving balustrades terminated by heavy plinths supporting two sculptures by C. S. Jagger of a sailor and a soldier operating a machine gun. The arrangement was slightly altered in the 1970s replanning. Smaller cenotaph for the Second World War, 2005.
