The Cheylesmore Memorial is a Grade II listed outdoor stone memorial dedicated to British Army officer Herbert Eaton, 3rd Baron Cheylesmore, located in the Victoria Embankment Gardens in Westminster, London, England.[1] The memorial was designed by Edwin Lutyens and unveiled in 1930.[2]
At the dedication ceremony on 17 July 1930, the memorial was unveiled by Prince Arthur, Duke of Connaught and Strathearn, the third son of Queen Victoria.[3] Those attending included John Jellicoe, 1st Earl Jellicoe and Paul Methuen, 3rd Baron Methuen.[3]
The memorial is made of Portland stone and has seats backing on to a decorative screen facing a small pond.[1] An inscription at the centre of the screen reads:[2]
