Reasons for Designation
Rodmarton war memorial is listed at Grade II for the following principal reasons:
* Historic interest: as an eloquent witness to the tragic impacts of world events on this community, and the sacrifices it made in the conflicts of the C20;
* Design: as a thoughtfully-designed and simple memorial in the form of a Celtic cross;
* Group value: with the Grade II* listed church of St Peter and a number of Grade II listed monuments in the churchyard.
History
The aftermath of the First World War saw the biggest single wave of public commemoration ever with tens of thousands of memorials erected across England. One such memorial was erected in circa 1920 to commemorate the fourteen men from the parish of Rodmarton who died during the conflict.
