Arkley War Memorial, Grade II listed war memorial in Barnet, United Kingdom
The Arkley War Memorial sits at the junction of Barnet Road and Rowley Green Road, displaying a Celtic cross carved from stone. Inscriptions on the structure record the names and details of those being commemorated.
The memorial was built in 1920 immediately after World War I ended. Later recognition as a Grade II Listed Building by Historic England confirmed its importance to the local heritage.
The memorial serves as a gathering place where local residents come together each November to remember those lost in both World Wars. This annual observance has become a meaningful moment in the life of the community.
The memorial is easily accessible from surrounding streets and visible from the roadside, making a visit straightforward. Visitors should note which side of the structure offers the best view of the inscriptions.
The memorial stands within walking distance of the Grade II-listed St Peter Church, together forming a historic architectural grouping in the village. This proximity of two listed structures makes Arkley a concentrated spot of local history.
