East Barnet War Memorial, War memorial and Grade II listed building in New Barnet, England.
East Barnet War Memorial is a stone monument built around a Celtic cross design with a bronze figure at its apex. The figure represents victory holding a palm leaf above a globe, serving as the visual focal point of the structure.
The memorial was built in 1921 to honor those who died in World War I, initially listing 277 men and one woman. After World War II, 136 additional names were added to the structure to include the second conflict's casualties.
The memorial holds names of those lost in two world wars, showing how important remembering local military losses remains for the community. Visitors gather here during commemoration days to honor neighbors who died in these conflicts.
