This memorial to the victims of war and tyranny takes us back a step further in history than the two terrible world wars that usually spring to mind first, and which claimed so many lives in the first half of the 20th century. However, this WAR MEMORIAL commemorates the fallen of the Second Anglo-Boer War, at the very beginning of the century (1899 to 1902), in which the British Empire subjugated the "Boer Republic of the Orange Free State" and the "South African Republic (Transvaal)."

The new gates replaced old wooden doors and have been much admired by local residents and visitors to the Cathedral. The gates are on the bank of the river Severn and the area is often deep in water during winter floods. The gates permit the free flow of water through the archway in times of extreme flood.

The swan is set on a plain cylindrical column within a circular area of cobbles. The swan stands facing the river, one foot raised to support a shield with the arms of Kleve shown in low relief. Its neck arches backwards and then forwards as its beak points out across the river, and its wings stretch upwards and outwards. The swan is the symbol of the town of Kleve in Germany, one of the two towns twinned with Worcester (the other being Le Vesinet, France).
