Cleaning The New Barnet War Memorial
The New Barnet war memorial was first unveiled in March 1921 by Thomas Walter Brand, 3rd Viscount Hampden GCVO KCB CMG, Lord Lieutenant of Hertfordshire and was originally dedicated to the brave 278 men of East Barnet who were killed in the First World War.

Thanks to a highly successful fundraising campaign started in September 2009 by the local community association and the specialist restoration skills of Langmead Memorials of Exeter, the memorial has recently been cleaned and restored to its former glory.

Costing a whopping £1000 at the time, the New Barnet War Memoral is a 10 metre high Limestone obelisk surmounted by a beautiful 2 metre high bronze statue representing victory. The memorial is sited in a small triangular garden at the junction of Station Road and Station Approach, with Lyonsdown road beyond.
