Leeds War Memorial
Arena Quarter · 3.1 miles
A marble obelisk topped with a bronze Angel of Peace dominates Victoria Square on the Headrow, positioned between the Town Hall and the Leeds City Art Gallery. The monument, listed as a historic memorial on the OpenStreetMap database, forms a focal point of the city centre and can be approached directly from the surrounding pedestrianised streets. Its four sides bear the inscriptions Invictis Pax, Ovr Gloriovs Dead, Honovr to the Fallen and Pro Patria, while the north-west and south-west corners record the dates 1914–1918 and 1939–1945. Flanking the shaft are sculptural groups titled Peace releasing a dove and Saint George and the Dragon, and each corner is embellished with owls, the heraldic emblem of Leeds. Designed by Henry Charles Fehr and unveiled on 14 October 1922, the memorial was originally sited in City Square before being moved to the newly created garden of rest in Victoria Square in 1937. It suffered a crack in 1940, leading to removal for repair and storage throughout the Leeds Blitz, with reinstatement in 1946. Subsequent storm damage saw the original Angel of Victory taken down, and after a period without a crowning figure, a new Angel of Peace by Ian Judd was dedicated on 10 November 1991. Today the site hosts the city’s Remembrance Day ceremonies, with three flag-pole mountings set up for the occasion, and remains accessible to visitors as part of the public square.
