Summary
War memorial, unveiled in 1920.
Reasons for Designation
St Anne’s war memorial, in Newcastle Avenue, Worksop, unveiled in 1920, is listed at Grade II for the following principal reasons:
* 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: as an elegant and finely detailed war memorial;
* Group value: conferred by its close proximity with the Grade II listed church of St Anne.
History
The war memorial, in remembrance of the men of St Anne’s parish lost in the First World War, was unveiled on 7 March 1920 by Sir John Robinson and dedicated by the Bishop of Southwell, the Rt Revd Edwyn Hoskyns.
Details
War memorial, unveiled in 1920.
The memorial comprises a late medieval-style stone cross. A Latin cross-head stands on top of a slender hexagonal shaft set on an elaborate hexagonal plinth with late Gothic-style canopies to each panel; three flying buttresses stand equidistantly around the plinth. Bronze plaques on the plinth record the names of those who fell (140 in the First World War; 13 in the Second), while above the plaques is inscribed: PRO NOBIS GLORIOSA PRO PATRIA IN VITAM PRO MUNDO SEMPITERNAM SUMMA INIERE AMANTES FORTITUDINE AMATI MORTE. The plinth stands on a three-stepped hexagonal base.
