| Description: A traditional temporary well dressing tableau made from flowers and other vegetation pressed into clay held in an oblong wooden frame. The panel was divided into three parts: the left section contained a depiction of the temporary wooden obelisk built around a lamp column in the Market Place at the end of WW1; the right section contained a depiction of the permanent stone memorial built in the memorial gardens to commemorate the fallen of WW1 and WW2, and the lower panel was a narrow strip containing the inscription. The well dressing was displayed from 16th to 20th July, 2016 and was subsequently dismantled. Glossary |
