Barnton War Memorial Survey

Proffitts - Investing in Communities are working alongside Barnton Parish Council on plans to renovate the War Memorial and Garden in the village. The proposals include replacing the existing red brick monument with a more fitting tribute to those who have fallen in conflict since 1914.

In order to do this, we are hoping to work alongside the community to get feedback on the most appropriate design for a monument and garden. We would appreciate your time to complete this questionnaire so we can find out what you think about the proposals.

You can find further information and keep up to date with the project by following this link:

Question Title

* 5. Once the monument style has been agreed, we need to consider the setting / surroundings for the memorial. There are two sketch designs for the garden area only below. Which option do you prefer?

Option 1

This option uses a low brick built raised planter filled with colourful and sensory plants to create a separation between the Memorial and Garden and the highway. A new carved stone monument has been created with a bronze plaque giving names and details of those who fell during the Great War. A band of decorative evergreen shrubs creates a backdrop to the Memorial and creates privacy for the adjoining property without blocking out the light.

Option 2

This option has a low stone kerb with decorative railings and archway featuring silhouettes of soldiers to separate the Memorial and Garden from the highway. A new carved stone monument has been created with a bronze plaque giving names and details of those who fell during the Great War. A series of raised planters with sensory planting forms a boundary between the Memorial Garden and the adjacent property. A new noticeboard replaces the existing one.
