Ledbury War Memorial commemorates the dead of two World Wars. It was constructed in two stages at the end of each war. It is in a central position in Ledbury High Street, outside St. Katherine's Hospital and opposite the Market House. The stone used is oolitic limestone with granite plaques where the names are inscribed. There are mosaic pictures of an angel, a soldier and a seaman on the lower WWI section and a striking decorated tile picture of an airman on the WWII addition above.
