    List Entry: 1463219

    Reasons for listing from Historic England website: Historic interest: * as a poignant reminder of the tragic impact of world events upon this island community. Architectural interest: * the memorial was designed by the architect and historian Percy Stone, whose career was devoted to the study and restoration of the island’s historic fabric; * for its striking design, appropriate to the churchyard setting, taking the form of elegantly detailed Calvary cross in Portland stone, with deftly cut lettering. Group value: * with the Grade I listed medieval church of St Mary, and the churchyard which contains the base of the medieval cross fitted with a later sundial, listed at Grade II, and a large number of listed monuments; to the north is a gun shed, and to the west, the Old Town Hall, both probably C17 in origin, and both listed at Grade II; to the south is the Grade II listed C16 house, said originally to have been the rectory.
