Description
The war memorial in Haycombe Cemetery was built around 1950, based on a design from 1919 by Sir Reginald Blomfield, who was a principal architect for the Imperial War Graves Commission. It is made of Portland stone ashlar and features a tall Cross of Sacrifice set on a five-stepped octagonal plinth. The cross has a bronze sword on both faces. The base includes steps and low piers that project on either side. On the north side of the memorial, there is a row of plain stones and a bronze plaque on a Portland stone plinth that reads, "This tablet marks the graves of those who died in Bath during the air raids on 25th, 26th and 27th April 1942." The entire memorial is well landscaped and serves as a continuation of the World War I memorial tradition. Blomfield's design has been adapted for use in various locations, including the City of Bath memorial in Queens Parade and Locksbrook Cemetery.
