    Reasons for listing from Historic England website: Historic interest: * as 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. Architectural interest: * for its well-executed and sombre design in the form of a Latin cross which is fitting for a memorial structure. Group value: * with several nearby listed buildings, including the Church of All Saints (Grade I) and Linden House (Grade II).
