Background to the
Submission

Office at Woking Borough Council submitted a formal request to the
Department of Culture, Media & Sport to have "certain memorials
statutorily listed ... because of their architectural and historic importance.
Having them listed will assist in their protection and help attract funding for
repair works to safeguard their future." At that time the only listed
structure in Brookwood Cemetery was the chapel, flagstaff and entrance to the American
Military section.

Salviati (plot 25), Lord Edward Pelham-Clinton (plot 4), Henri van Laun (plot 80), Arthur Hacker (plot 27), Bent family memorial (plot 34), Sir Luke Fildes (plot 36), Freshfield family memorial (plot 44), John S.
