Penmaenmawr war memorial

This memorial was unveiled on 31 May 1925 by Lt Col CH Darbishire and his wife. It was designed by RJ Hughes and built in light grey granite from Trevor, Gwynedd, by Messrs Hughes & Benjamin, of Penmaenmawr. The bronze work was by Messrs James Gibbon Ltd, of Wolverhampton.

The memorial’s dedication was given by the Rev Griffith Matthews, vicar of Penmaenmawr, and the Last Post sounded by WP Evans. The prayers were led by the Rev D Cynddelw Williams, former Chaplain to the Welsh Division. The town’s silver band provided the musical accompaniment to the choir. RD Owen conducted the Order of Service.
