The
Hertford War Memorial is located in Parliament Square, Hertford. It
takes the form of a sculptured bronze stag atop a portland stone plinth
surrounded, on the ground, by name panels for those who died in World
War 1 and World War 2. There are 365 names for World War 1 and 199 for
World War 2. The memorial was originally unveiled by the Archdeacon
of St Albans on 6th November 1921. The freehold for the site was bought
by Sir Edward Ernest Pearson of Brickendonbury Knight for £2,650
and was given as a gift from him and his wife to Hertford Council in
1921. The architects were Mr Maurice Webb and Sir Aston Webb & Sons;
the sculptor was Sir Edward Alfred Brisco Drury. Details are to be found
in the Hertfordshire Mercury dated 10th November 2000. See also the
