Awards, Conservation, Havenstreet

A stone wall-enclosed shrine overlooking Havenstreet village is one of 18 war memorials being listed or upgraded by English Heritage in their bid to protect war memorials around the UK.

Havenstreet Memorial To Be Listed By English HeritageAs many readers will already know, the memorial which stands proud at the junction of Havenstreet Road and Firestone Copse Lane commemorates members of the Binstead and Havenstreet communities who lost their lives in action during World War One.

The shrine was dedicated by the Willis Fleming family and names 39 soldiers.

According to the Inventory of War Memorials, coordinated by the Imperial War Museum, an application was made in 2008 for the shrine to be listed by English Heritage, which now looks set to be validated.
