DESCRIPTION
Details (Known As) Women's War Memorial Garden, Cross of Sacrifice and Stone of Remembrance
Registered Name Women's War Memorial Garden, Cross of Sacrifice and Stone of Remembrance
Significance The Memorial Garden was created in remembrance of those who died in World War One. Initiated by the women of South Australia, it is a reminder of the grief so many experienced as a result of the loss of their loved ones during the war. The Garden was designed by Herbert Baker, in conjunction with Sir Reginald Blomfield and Sir Edwin Lutyens. Sir Reginald Blomfield designed the Cross of Sacrifice. The Stone of Remembrance is from the design by Sir Edwin Lutyens. The Cross of Sacrifice and Stone of Remembrance are important as places highly valued by the community for their role as memorials, and as the site now used for Anzac Day services in Adelaide.

Disclaimer

While due care has been taken to ensure that the SA Heritage Places Database accurately reflects the South Australian Heritage Register and listings of Local Heritage Places in Development Plans, the State of South Australia does not accept liability for the use of the SA Heritage Database for any purpose. Users should consult the Department for Environment and Water - Heritage South Australia to confirm the listing of State Heritage Places and the relevant Development Plan for Local Heritage Places/Contributory Items.

In the majority of cases, the maps of State Heritage Places on this web site show the footprints of the most significant structures on a registered Place. However, sometimes they simply indicate the complete area of land comprising the Place. Work is proceeding to further refine the mapping of such places. It is also important to note that development control is not limited to the registered structures but extends to their setting and structures nearby (what is termed ‘development affecting’ a State Heritage Place). Hence it is vital that exact details of the listed place and implications for any proposed development be discussed with Heritage South Australia staff, as they cannot be deduced solely from the information on this web site. The inclusion of a place in the SA Heritage Register gives no right of public access. Permission to visit properties must be sought from the owners. The accuracy of the mapping of State Heritage Places is not guaranteed. Please contact Heritage SA ( https://www.environment.sa.gov.au/topics/heritage/sa-heritage-register) if you believe there is an error.
