Description:The war memorial to the soldiers from Stone, Meaford and Darlaston who died in the First World War was unveiled by Lord Dartmouth, Lord Lieutenant of the County on 10 January 1921. The statue was designed by Albert Toft (1862 - 1949), who also designed the war memorial at Sandon. The plaques on the plinth bear the names of the 126 Stone men who lost their lives during the First World War. Similar plaques were later added in memory of those who were killed in the Second World War. The first bank in Stone, the Meaford and Pirehill Savings Bank, is on the far left, with the District Bank on the right.
