The York City War Memorial is a First World War memorial designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens and located in York in the north of England. Proposals for commemorating York's war dead originated in 1919 but proved controversial. Initial discussions focused on whether a memorial should be a monument or should take on some utilitarian purpose. Several functional proposals were examined until a public meeting in January 1920 opted for a monument. The city engineer produced a cost estimate and the war memorial committee engaged Lutyens, who had recently been commissioned by the North Eastern Railway (NER) to design their own war memorial, also to be sited in York.

  • 约克市战争纪念碑(英語:York City War Memorial)坐落在北英格兰约克市,是埃德温·鲁琴斯爵士设计的,旨在纪念第一次世界大战期间为国捐躯的约克市将士。约克市在1919年首度提议为烈士修筑纪念建筑,起初各方无法对建筑功能达成一致,后在1920年1月的公开会议上决定采用不具备其他功能的纯纪念建筑。英国东北铁路聘请鲁琴斯为该司在战场上牺牲的雇员设计纪念碑并投入两万英镑巨资,约克市工程师估计修筑成本后,该市战争纪念委员会也决定委聘鲁琴斯设计。两座纪念碑都位于约克市,因此引发争议。根据计划,两个纪念碑相距仅90米而且都靠近该市古城墙,同时市纪念碑预算仅有东北铁路的一成,两相对照产生的不良效果引起社区忧虑。公众的持续反对迫使委员会将纪念碑位置移到古城墙外不远处的里曼路,鲁琴斯把原有设计改成战争十字碑和世界大战纪念石,委员会因资金不足取消纪念石,只采用十字碑。 1925年6月25日,约克公爵阿尔伯特王子(后成为乔治六世国王)为纪念碑揭幕,此时距纪念基金设立已过去六年之久。十字碑高十米,下方的基座由四个矩形石块组成,其下还有方形平台和台阶。纪念碑坐落在纪念园内,入口是鲁琴斯用剩余资金设计。约克市战争纪念碑属II*级登录建筑,于2015年列入鲁琴斯战争纪念建筑“国家收藏”。此外,纪念园入口处的石柱和大门均入选II级登录建筑。 (zh)
