Description / Background

These war memorial gates consist of four brick columns, joined by two large wrought iron gates in the centre, and two smaller gates to the left and right sides. Each gate is decorated with a cross. There are two metal plaques located on the centre columns, commemorating those from the parish who served in the Second World War. The gates are located on the southwestern side of St Andrew's Anglican Church in Lismore. 

The gates were dedicated on 12 October 1947 by the Bishop of Grafton, the Right Reverend C. E. Storrs. The dedication followed a special service in the church. A detailed account of the occasion was published in the Northern Star, 13 October 1947.

In 2023, the gates and lamps underwent conservation works and the plaques were also replaced with new versions.
