The Wyke Regis War Memorial is a World War I war memorial located in Wyke Regis, Weymouth, Dorset, England. Facing Wyke Road from the edge of Wyke Regis Cemetery, the memorial has been Grade II listed since December 2016.[1]
The memorial was unveiled on 30 November 1919 and had cost just over £200, which was raised by public subscription.[2] Built of Portland stone, it is described as having a Neo-Baroque style by Historic England. The memorial is a stone obelisk, set on a stone base, with a large pedestal containing four brass panels, commemorating the lives of 52 local men. Above the pedestal is an inscribed stone ring.[1][3] The brass panels were created by employees of the village's Whitehead Torpedo Factory.[2]
