The War Memorial in Beverley's Memorial Gardens, located in Hengate, is an obelisk resting on a square plinth. Three of the sides of the plinth bear inscriptions dedicating the memorial to those who fell in the First World War. The names of those commemorated are shown on a metal tablet set into one of the four sides.
We are very grateful to Mike Berrell (<mike_berrell@ntlworld.com>) for providing photographs of the memorial, including a view of the First World War commemorations.
