Reasons for Designation
North Perrott War Memorial 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 First World War;
* Degree of survival: unusually the memorial has not been adapted for Second World War commemoration, and thus retains its original design intent;
* Architectural interest: an accomplished and well-realised design;
* Group value: with the base of the former village cross (Grade II) and the Manor Arms Inn (Grade II).
History
