History.
The Tirah Memorial was unveiled in 1900, making it Oxford's first war memorial.
The monument was designed by Inigo Thomas. It is an obelisk high, with foundations deep. It was erected in a public garden that had been the graveyard of St Peter-le-Bailey parish church and is now Bonn Square. The digging of the memorial's foundations unearthed human remains, which were re-interred at Osney Cemetery away.
The Tirah Memorial is a Grade II listed building.
