This technical note describes good practice for diagnosing and
understanding the structural problems found in war memorials, with
a focus on freestanding masonry and memorials built of concrete. It
details what specialist advice may be required, and the steps that
might follow diagnosis, including structural monitoring, emergency
works and structural repair options. It also indicates where to get
further help and advice. This note is intended for architects,
building surveyors, structural engineers, project managers,
contractors, craftspeople, conservators, and anyone else interested
in the designing, specifying, conserving, and repairing of
freestanding war memorials. It will also be of interest to those
responsible for making decisions, such as local authority
conservation officers, custodians, or volunteer groups. This
technical advice note forms part of a series of resources produced
by Historic England, to coincide with the centenary of the First
World War, that cover the overall approach to caring for war
memorials as well as some of the more poorly understood technical
aspects. They include: • guidance on how to record, repair,
conserve, maintain and protect these unique monuments for future
generations: The Conservation, Repair and Management of War
Memorials and Conservation and Management of War Memorial
Landscapes • short technical advice notes covering inscriptions,
structural problems and repairs and maintenance • case studies on
conservation options for specific war memorial issues • films on
technical aspects of war memorial conservation
