List Entry: 1461466
Reasons for listing from Historic England website: Historic interest: * it is an eloquent witness to the tragic impact of world events on the local community, and the sacrifice it made in the conflicts of the C20; * it has close associations with the architect’s family as his two brothers are commemorated on the memorial. Architectural interest: * it is a well-detailed, simple yet elegant memorial; * it is an apparently unique variation on the standard memorial designed by Eadred’s uncle, the nationally renowned architect Sir Edwin Lutyens Group value: * it has strong group value with numerous designated assets, notably the Grade II listed Amwell Grove where the architect had lived with his parents, which is situated in a Grade II registered late C18 and early C19 picturesque landscape.
