Hove War Memorial, War memorial and statue in Brighton and Hove, United Kingdom.
The Hove War Memorial features a bronze figure of Saint George holding a sword, mounted on a Tuscan column with a three-stepped granite base.
Edwin Lutyens designed this memorial after two rejected proposals, and Lord Leconfield unveiled it on February 27, 1921, to honor First World War casualties.
The memorial stands as a testament to 631 local soldiers who died in World War I, with their names recorded on brass plaques at Hove Library.
Located on Grand Avenue in Hove, the Grade II listed structure measures 4200 millimeters in height with a 1200-millimeter bronze figure at its crown.
The Saint George statue, created in George Frampton's studio, holds the sword by its blade rather than its handle, representing sacrifice and protection.
