Calvary War Memorial

The Church of the Annunciation is home to the Marylebone Calvary War Memorial, which is situated on the corner of Old Quebec Street and Bryanston Street, on the south east corner of the church. The memorial commemorates those who lost their lives in WW1, and includes the names of local servicemen from a wide range of regiments. It is thought that the memorial was installed shortly after the construction of the current building and that the design is also by Walter Tapper.

The War Memorial is used at our annual act of remembrance in November each year. It is regularly visited on a day-to-day basis, with countless people paying their respects, laying flowers, pausing to reflect, and praying for peace just a stone's throw away from the hustle and bustle of Oxford Street.

Two inscribed stone tables are mounted on the brick buttresses behind the crucifix, bearing the names, rank, and regiments of the fallen. "We will remember them."
