II

War memorial. Dated 1862-63. By M Ogle Tarbotton, Borough Engineer. Ashlar. Rectangular platform, pink sandstone, approx 10m x 5m, on a stepped ashlar plinth. Inscriptions, partly illegible, around the platform. At each corner, a cannon on a stone base. In the centre of the platform, an octagonal cupola in the Chinese style, with swept octagonal spire. Round columns with traceried brackets, and inscriptions in Chinese and Russian on the frieze. HISTORICAL NOTE: the cupola originally contained a bell, looted by British troops from a temple in Canton during the Anglo-Chinese war of 1857-61. This was removed to the regimental museum in 1956. 2 of the cannon were captured at Sebastopol in 1854-55, during the Crimean war: 2 are replicas c1862. The memorial commemorates the involvement of the 59th/2nd Nottinghamshire Regiment of Foot in these wars, and the trophies were presented by Lt. Col. Burmester in 1857. The memorial is unusual in commemorating two campaigns, and dates from a period when the names of those killed were not recorded. (Nottingham Topic: April 1952: Nottingham: 1952-).
