Situated in the village of Gerrards Cross in Buckinghamshire northwest of London, this Grade II listed building uniquely combines community function with memorial purpose. Designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens—the renowned architect of the Cenotaph and numerous war memorials—it stands as the only instance of Lutyens designing a war memorial that also serves an active civic use rather than standing as a monument alone. Constructed in slate, brick, and sandstone, the building commemorates the First World War while providing essential community services to its village.
