After researching my posting on Lutyens I went to the CCC libraries website & ordered your book! I really do look forward to reading it. Do we up here have any other Lutyens memorials?Louishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16745981628479484506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3373258521610177943.post-87416495324100838182009-07-10T07:16:58.089+01:002009-07-10T07:16:58.089+01:00You are correct in linking this to Muncaster Castl...You are correct in linking this to Muncaster Castle. Lutyens seems to have had a number of discussions with Sir John Ramsden about work to the castle, which ultimately came to nothing. He did however design the war memorial as well as a tomb and memorial to Sir Josslyn Pennington in the local church. Lutyens was a frequent letter writer to his wife and one of his key letters in connection with the design of the Stone of Remembrance was written "In a train to Muncaster". If you are particularly interested in this you may not have seen my book "Lutyens and The Great War" which covers all of his work in this field.Tim Skeltonnoreply@blogger.com
