The Carillon Tower
The Carillon Tower was designed by Sir Walter Tapper in 1921 and building started the next year. The ground floor section was constructed from Portland stone up to a height of 16 feet, the middle section was built of red brick with stone dressings around the windows and the upper section was copper clad wood.
Bronze plaques, or tablets, were placed at ground floor level on the outside of the Carillon, to commemorate the men of Loughborough who died in World War One. Plaques for World War Two and other plaques were added later.
Those commemorated on these plaques are also listed, together with biographical details and photographs where they are available, on the Loughborough Roll of Honour website.

Missing Names
In 2018 an appeal was launched to raise funds to create an additional memorial following the discovery, by Carillon Principal Researcher Marigold Cleeve, of 114 names that had not been included in the original WW1 plaques. The new memorial was mounted inside the Carillon, on the ground floor.
