University of Reading War Memorial
University of Reading War Memorial, Grade II listed clock tower at London Road Campus, University of Reading, England
The 60-foot tall memorial tower features a clock, a bell, and bronze panels containing names of individuals who died during military service.
Herbert Maryon designed this memorial in 1923, which was dedicated in June 1924 to commemorate University members who perished in the First World War.
The memorial serves as a central gathering location for annual ceremonies and remembrance events within the University of Reading community.
Located at the London Road Campus entrance, the memorial displays multiple bronze panels listing over 200 names from different military conflicts.
The structure received Grade II listing status in 1987, recognizing its architectural merit and the work of Herbert Maryon, who later restored the Sutton Hoo helmet.
