Reasons for listing from Historic England website: * as an eloquent witness to the tragic impact of the Second World War on the local community, in particular the sacrifice of those contributing to the defence of the country on the home front; * as a rare example of a memorial solely dedicated to a group of civil defence workers. Architectural interest: * the plinth incorporates an evocative and detailed carving which depicts various objects and protective equipment commonly associated with civil defence workers. Group value: * with the East Cowes War Memorial (Grade II) opposite, Church of St James (Grade II), and the church gate piers and wall (Grade II).
