Description: This memorial is situated at the northern end of the Promenade Gardens near the River Derwent and, was unveiled on 21 May 1921 by Mr. F. C. Arkwright. The pedestal was made from Cornish Granite and the figures were carved in Carrara, Italy, out of the local marble taken from quarries known to the Romans. Lead lettering was used. It cost £700 and the contractor was James Beresford & Sons of Belper. The monument lists the names of those who died in both wars and the money for it was raised from public subscriptions. The original inscription, on the East Side, said: 'Erected by voluntary subscription by the inhabitants of Matlock Bath'. This was removed to make room for the names of those who died in the Second World War, but its traces can still be seen. (information from the very informative website 'The Andrews Pages')
