Mells War Memorial, Grade II* listed war memorial in Mells, England
The memorial features a Tuscan column made of Purbeck Marble with a sculpture of Saint George slaying a dragon at its center.
Edwin Lutyens designed this memorial in 1921 to commemorate 21 local residents who died during World War I and later added 8 names from World War II.
The memorial serves as a central gathering point for the village during annual Remembrance Sunday ceremonies to honor fallen servicemen.
Stone benches extend from the rubble walls, allowing visitors to rest and place wreaths while reflecting at this Somerset memorial site.
The memorial cost £400 to build through public subscriptions and remains one of few Lutyens designs incorporating allegorical elements.
