About the memorial: A prominent War Memorial Cross outside the west end of Winchester Cathedral. It is clear from comparing the 1980s photos with more recent ones that things have greatly improved since then. Designer: Herbert Baker English Heritage "Standing in the grounds of Winchester Cathedral, this dramatically-positioned memorial incorporates a stone from the ruined Ypres Cloth Hall, an iconic building that was destroyed in the First World War. It is an elegant memorial cross incorporating symbols for England and France, combined with heraldic devices and bronze wreaths. It remembers 8,786 servicemen who died in the First World War as well as 460 citizens of Winchester."
