Newmarket’s war memorial is located in peaceful and attractive gardens close to the centre of town at the end of the High Street.
The memorial was unveiled on 16th October 1921 by Major-General Sir William Lambton and dedicated by the Bishop of St Edmundsbury and Ipswich. It takes the form of a large granite pillar on a stepped base, topped by an urn and lists the names of 218 men from the town who fell during World War I as well as 10 civilians and 80 servicemen who lost their lives during World War II.
