Port Sunlight

Few English villages can be without a war memorial, but Port Sunlight and its memorial are both unique. Port Sunlight is the model village built from the late Victorian period onwards by William Lever (later Lord Leverhulme), for the employees at his Sunlight Soap Factory; and its war memorial was designed and sculpted by his friend Goscombe John, one of the most important of the New Sculptors. Raised on a circular mound at the heart of the village, the memorial honours those of Lord Leverhulme's employees who fell in the Great War, remembering as well the various services that supported them.
Taking as its theme "defence of home and country," it also, unusually, shows a number of women and children.
