On 11th November 2014 a memorial was unveiled in the Jephson Gardens, between the Aviary and Willes Road entrance. The memorial will remember all those who played any part in World War One, including the widows and orphans and those who served at home.

The Leamington History Group applied for the grant for the memorial and worked with Warwick District Council and Leamington Town Council to commission the sculpture.

The memorial was designed by Tim Tolkien and the central feature consists of two poppies in flower and one stem with a seed-head at the top.
