About the memorial: The war memorial is a cloister with a fountain, a garden and a cross. The three sided arcade is made of a timber frame with the outer supports resting on a Bargate stone wall. The roof is of Horsham slab and slate and the floor has a brick base. The inside of the arcade has a fountain and six copper-alloy inscribed plaques are attached to the inside wall. The arcade is open on the south side and within the arms of the cloister is a war memorial garden, with a cross on a plinth in the centre of the lawn and a paved walkway around the edge. Designer: Herbert Baker English Heritage "Blackmoor War Memorial Cloister is a cross and fountain which stands to the west of Grade II* St Matthew's Church. The memorial combines a number of Sir Herbert Baker's motifs, including one of his elegant cross designs. Unveiled in 1920, it is an early example of Baker's successful collaboration with British sculptor Sir Charles Wheeler, whose work is also found on many of Baker's other buildings. It represents Baker's first cloister design and led to the commission of his masterpiece, the War Cloister at Winchester College."
