Bristol's oldest War Memorial
The information board at this war memorial states that this is Britain's oldest memorial, but this is very much disputed - it is certainly Bristol's oldest. This Lieutenant General was born in Bristol in 1721 and was educated at Bristol Cathedral School. After attending King's College, Cambridge he chose a military career, forming his own Regiment of Foot, during the Seven Years War. In 1762 he successfully led a major expedition in the Phillippines and served a total of 40 years in the British Army.
He was also a prominent cricketer and was involved in a key meeting in 1774 which agreed on an early set of cricket rules including the leg before wicket rule. In his later years he built a mansion in Clifton close to the War Memorial's location.
