UK War Memorials is an incredibly useful tool providing people with expert guidance on how to record, research , conserve and secure listed status for their local war memorials.

There are over 100,000 war memorials around the UK – including monuments; rolls of honour; gardens of remembrance, memorial clocks, windows, bells and more – quietly reminding us of an incredible sacrifice.

They are a rich part of our cultural heritage, providing a direct link to events in the past that shaped the world we live in today.  So, it’s important that we keep them in good shape and let their stories live on for future generations. 

In his latest blog, HLF Historic Advisor, Ben Greener explores how HLF is helping to conserve and understand the nation's war memorials.
