From today's featured article Southampton Cenotaph is a First World War memorial in Watts Park in the southern English city of Southampton. The cenotaph was the first memorial of dozens designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens to be built in permanent form and it influenced his later designs, including the Cenotaph on Whitehall in London. It is a tapering, multi-tiered pylon featuring a recumbent figure of a soldier, a prominent cross, the town's coat of arms, and two lion sculptures. In front is an altar-like Stone of Remembrance. Later cenotaphs by Lutyens, although similar in outline, were much more austere and featured almost no sculpture. By the beginning of the 21st century, the engravings on the memorial had deteriorated noticeably. They have been supplemented by a series of glass panels, unveiled in 2011, which bear all the names from the cenotaph, as well as names from the Second World War and later conflicts. The memorial was upgraded in 2015 to a Grade I listed building. (Full article...) Did you know ... ... that the key to Franklin D.
