About the memorial: Following the end of World War One a local committee proposed a new park for Herne Bay to commemorate those who lost their lives during the war. This took the form of Herne Bay Memorial Park and includes a freestanding cenotaph. The cenotaph is made of rough-hewn red sandstone surmounting a three-stepped base with inscriptions on in black lead lettering on inset smooth panels. The whole memorial is set on elevated platform, accessed by six white-washed steps in the centre of the park. The park is recorded by Fields in Trust as being a Centenary Field.
