Main Street/Green Lane, Kimberley. 'The memorial is constructed of reconstituted stone in the form of a domed butter cross on a round plinth. Six columns support the inscribed cornice band and dome which is topped with a square lantern with four clock faces and a flame finial. The dome was covered with copper in 2008 altering the original design.' (War Memorials Trust Bulletin No.80, February 2019). A project in 2018 to clean and repair the memorial was supported through a large grant from the War Memorials Trust Grants Scheme supported by the First World War Memorial Programme funded by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport. As part of the work, the dome was returned to the original stone finish. (War Memorials Trust Bulletin No. 80). The memorial, which originally cost about £1,500, was unveiled in 1921 by Sir Henry Dennis Readett Bayley, chairman of Giltbrook Leather Works and Managing Director of the Digby Colliery Company. It was dedicated by Reverend Frederic Hart BA, rector of Holy Trinity, Kimberley, whose son, Charles Crowther, was killed in 1917. The names of those who died in the Second World War have been added to one of the panels. It is apparently the only domed memorial in Britain.
