Located outside the Abbey, viewed across Half Moon Street. The Sherborne Museum website states that the Memorial was designed by William Douglas Caroe FSA and executed in Doulting stone by John Merrick of Glastonbury. The unveiling ceremony was performed by the Earl of Shaftesbury on November 11th 1921. Two years later one hundred and seventy five names of the fallen in the Great War were inscribed on metal plates and attached to the plinth.
