Blackmoor War Memorial, War memorial cloister in Hampshire, England
The three-sided wood-framed arcade features Bargate stone walls, a Horsham stone roof, and bronze memorial plaques surrounding a central lawn with a cross.
Commissioned by the Earl and Countess of Selborne, the memorial was constructed in 1920 to honor their son Captain Robert Palmer and other fallen soldiers.
Six bronze plaques designed by Charles Wheeler commemorate local casualties from both World Wars, preserving the memory of military service members.
The memorial includes a water fountain and bench seating along the rear wall, providing a space for contemplation near St Matthew Church.
The octagonal wheel-headed cross displays text from Psalm 58, reflecting architect Herbert Baker's characteristic design elements in military monuments.
