Potters Bar War Memorial
The monument is in quite an unusual style being Gothic revival with an Arts & Crafts influence. In the Pevsner guide to Hertfordshire, he remarks on the interesting lettering used on the roll of honour. The architect was Charles Francis Annesley Voysey (1857 - 1941) Link

The original inscription on the western façade reads:
To the glory of God & in memory of the men of Potters Bar Little Heath & Bentley Heath who gave their lives in the Great War 1914-1918 by their sacrifice we live.
After the Second World War, the following was added:
Also to the memory of the men who gave their lives in World War II 1939-1945
- The Roll of Honour is as follows -
(Note: I have inserted ---------- in each list where I think the 1st and 2nd World Wars' names are separated though there is no such distinction on the monument)
