The Conscientious Objectors Commemorative Stone is a rough-hewn slab of grey-green volcanic slate that sits quietly within Tavistock Square. This specific boulder was sourced from a quarry in Cumbria and is estimated to be four hundred million years old. Its natural, weathered appearance serves as a deliberate contrast to traditional, polished monuments, symbolizing the resilience of those who resisted the pressures of war throughout history.
