Ascham St Vincent's Memorial Arch

In Carlisle Road, Eastbourne. A large decorative stone and brick memorial arch leading from the main road into a now residential area. The central arch is supported on either side by wide square columns that on the side facing away from the road have inset stone plaques bearing the names of the fallen. There are stone plaques affixed to the apex of the arch on both sides. The arch is dedicated to the memory of the 51 Ascham St. Vincent's pupils who fell in the Great War. Their names are inscribed on four plaques on the memorial arch and due to erosion the inscriptions are now almost lost and require restoration http://www.publicsculpturesofsussex.co.uk/object?id=24#generalinformation
