The memorial is a bronze winged Victory standing on a globe with her arms outstretched. She once held an Olive branch in her right hand but this has been broken away. Victory stands upon an octagonal pedestal column of Portland Stone with scrolled feet and moulded caps with bronzes plaques on the faces of the column. She was deigned by Alfred Drury and erected in 1922. Bronze elements:- The bronze figure and plaques are in structurally sound condition. There is a small part of the olive branch still in her hand. The surface of the bronze is in poor condition with any original or subsequent protective coating now gone, leaving the bronze exposed to the elements. Stone Plinth:-The plinth is generally in sound condition with evidence of repointing and copper staining. The repairs the Town Council are looking to have undertaken on the winged victory consist of:- • The replacement of the olive branch • Steam cleaning of the statue • Patinate surface to restore colour in localised areas • Add microcrystalline wax for protection Conservation work is needed on the column plaques include:- • Steam cleaning and removal of old wax residue • Patinate plaques to restore colour in localised areas • Add Microcrystalline wax for protection • Cleaning and repair of the stone pillar It is hoped that funding will be granted in time to enable the Town Council to have the War Memorial repaired in late Spring/Summer 2018, in time for the WW1 Centenary.
