Summary
War memorial, unveiled 1918.
Reasons for Designation
Hardwick war memorial, unveiled in 1918, 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: the memorial is thoughtfully designed with good carved detailing;
* Group value: the memorial is prominently located within Clumber Park, a designed landscape registered at Grade I, and has additional group value with a number of listed buildings including The Chantry (Grade II).
History
The war memorial, in remembrance of the men of the Clumber estate lost in the First World War, was unveiled on 25 September 1918 by the Duke of Newcastle and dedicated by the Rt Revd Edwyn Hoskyns, the Bishop of Southwell. It was designed by W E Tower, and made by William D Gough, both of London. The names of those who fell in the Second World War were added after it.
