Lindisfarne War Memorial, War memorial in Holy Island, England
The Lindisfarne War Memorial stands 5 meters tall with a tapered shaft and short arms near the top, constructed from pink ashlar stone from Doddington quarry.
The memorial was unveiled on June 4, 1922, and later incorporated names of casualties from both World War I and World War II on its base stones.
Sir Edwin Lutyens, who designed the memorial, applied the same architectural principles he used for the Cenotaph in London and other national monuments.
The structure sustained damage during winter storms in 1983-1984, requiring repairs after the shaft broke in two sections due to severe weather conditions.
The memorial's position on The Heugh creates a visual connection with Lutyens's Lindisfarne Castle and the ruins of Lindisfarne Priory in the background.
