I mentioned in another thread that it is worth making sure that war memorials are recorded on the official records - council Sites and Monuments Register / Historic Environment Record and the national record which is probably run by English Heritage in England. This is most important for the smaller ones fixed to buildings or inside the building. This does not protect them like 'listing' or 'scheduling' but it means that if there is a planning application then the planning authority will be aware of it and hopefully put a condition on its preservation or moving to a safe place. All too often memorials have been removed from buildings being demolished and just trashed. Here in Scotland I pass them on to our local HER and the RCAHMS (just got one added today) also add my photographs to their record with detailed pictures of all the names even if I do not have time to transcribe them all. It is surprising how many they have no record of, I had a spreadsheet sent to me today and added quite a number that were not on it.
