This monument was erected in 1920 by the Old Boys' Association of King's Collegiate. The tablet was inscribed "In memory of Old Boys of all ranks who gave their lives in service in the Great War". A mast from a ship that ran aground in the Avon River was used as a flag staff, and at the foot stood three guns captured on the Western Front. In the 1950's the flag staff was struck by lightening, the guns were removed, and the monument dismantled. The plaque was placed in Hensley Memorial Chapel. Circa 1980s, King's Collegiate School amalgamated with Edgehill Girls' School.
