From the website cited below :-
"Ledbury War Memorial was unveiled and dedicated on 5 December 1920 at a ceremony attended by Major General Sir Elliott Wood, in commemoration of 82 servicemen who died during the First World War. It was designed and executed by the firm of King & Co Hereford at a cost of £660. After the erection of the memorial, the base was incorporated into the surrounding pedestrian way. The memorial’s upper stage and plaques bearing the names of those who fell in the Second World War were added in 1988. The memorial was re-dedicated on 10 May that year in a ceremony attended by the Lord Lieutenant of Herefordshire. The funds to do this were raised by public subscription."
