Grade II Listed memorial with three statues of warrior kings. Built about 1922 by Messrs W H Maxey and Son of Eastgate, restoration was carried out in 2012 to mark its 90th anniversary. Pevsner dates it to circa 1920 but LINCS to the past apparently sourced from a 1922 Sleaford Journal notes that 'On 4 June 1922 the memorial was unveiled by Mrs H A Peake who had lost three sons in the Great War. The memorial cost £630 to build'.
