Heaton Chapel and Heaton Moor War Memorial
(Formerly listed as War memorial to front of Church of St Paul)
GV
II
War Memorial, 1921, by JH Sellers (designer) and John Cassidy RBS (sculptor). Portland stone, sandstone and bronze. Semi-circular ashlar Portland stone wall behind square Portland stone pedestal on projecting raised apron of sandstone flags. Pedestal surmounted by bronze statue of a soldier in battledress in relaxed stance. Wall terminated by piers with plinths, with bronze wreaths of laurel leaves garlanding an oak branch. Pedestal has mouldings and raised front panel with incised inscription in good serifed lettering reading ‘IN MEMORY OF/ THE MEN OF/ HEATON CHAPEL/ AND/ HEATON MOOR/ WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES/ IN/ THE GREAT WAR/ 1914-1919’. Below this is a bronze plaque headed 1939-1945, with 76 names below, listed alphabetically without rank, in relief lettering. The left hand face has a plaque with lettering in relief, headed 1914-1918 and with 59 names listed alphabetically without rank. The rear is inscribed ‘THEIR/ NAME/ LIVETH/ FOR/EVERMORE/’, below which is a bronze plaque with lettering in relief reading ‘ALSO/’ followed by 7 names, including one woman. The right hand face has a bronze plaque listing 61 names of First World War dead, with a trench-warfare scene in low relief below. The memorial was unveiled on 30 Jan 1921 and accepted on behalf of the Borough by the Mayor, Charles Royal. The cost for the original statue design which included and angel and a soldier was estimated at between £1,800 and £2,000. The left hand panel is a replacement of the stolen original, which probably had a similar relief to the right hand panel. The wall was repaired after traffic damage in 2000.
