Pearl Assurance War Memorial, Bronze war memorial in Orton Waterville, England
The Pearl Assurance War Memorial is a bronze statue depicting Saint George in medieval armor conquering a dragon beneath his feet. The figure stands about 2.1 meters tall and is mounted on a granite base inscribed with names.
The memorial was created by sculptor George Frampton in 1919 and originally stood at Pearl Assurance headquarters in London. It was relocated to Peterborough Business Park in 1991.
The plaques on the base honor employees who lost their lives during World War I, a common way companies remembered their staff during that period. This type of corporate memorial reflects how different organizations chose to honor their workers.
The memorial is located in landscaped gardens within Peterborough Business Park and is accessible to the public throughout the year. You can reach it on foot from the main business park grounds.
The statue shows Saint George holding his sword hilt as a cross within a wreath, combining religious symbolism with the act of war. The shield displays the Cross of Saint George, reinforcing the English national significance.
