Rainham War Memorial, War memorial and clock tower in Rainham, England
The hexagonal clock tower memorial features three clock faces, constructed with red Belgian brick and Portland stone dressings, surrounded by protective iron railings.
Colonel Whitmore, Lord Lieutenant of Essex, unveiled the memorial on November 7, 1920, marking a permanent tribute to local soldiers who died during wartime.
The memorial displays stone blocks inscribed with 'Lest We Forget' and contains panels listing names of soldiers who sacrificed their lives in both World Wars.
Located between Broadway and Upminster Road in front of Saint Helen and Saint Giles parish church, the memorial serves as a central point for remembrance ceremonies.
The structure combines functionality as a timekeeper with commemorative purposes, featuring gauged arches, narrow pilasters, and a balustrade parapet at its upper section.
