    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: * a well executed Portland stone obelisk, rising off a plinth on a two-stepped base, which provides an elegant and fitting tribute to the Fallen of the Parish. Group value: * it benefits from a spatial group value with the Grade I Church of St Mary, Huggate.
