English: Burnley War Memorial, Towneley Park, Todmorden Road, Burnley. Unveiled 1926. This Memorial adjoins Towneley Hall, the historic seat of the Towneley and O'Hagan families and now the property of the Corporation of Burnley. The Memorial takes the form of a Cenotaph, the plinth being of granite, the side figures, each about 8 feet high, of bronze, and the Cenotaph proper of Portland stone to a height of 20 feet. The front of the Cenotaph bears the following inscription: THIS MONUMENT WAS ERECTED IN MEMORY OF THE MEN OF BURNLEY WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES FOR THEIR FELLOW COUNTRYMEN IN THE GREAT WAR, 1914-1918. Rising from the plinth the Cenotaph is plain until near the top where it is sculpted into three figures representing the Navy, Army and Air Force. At each side of the Cenotaph is a female figure, the left representing the mother laying a wreath and the right representing the sister or wife bringing garlands and the palm of victory. By the mother’s side is the rosemary bush for remembrance and under the rosemary is a cricket bat and ball. A prayer is enshrined on the Cenotaph: MAKE THEM TO BE NUMBERED WITH THY SAINTS IN GLORY EVERLASTING. The two bronze figures represent Louis Weingartner’s swan song, and the stone Donald Gilbert’s début. Work arranged by Walter Gilbert in association with Donald Gilbert, Louis Weingartner and H, H, Martyn of Cheltenham. Photo by Phillip Medhurst. Bronze and stonework 1926.
