Mells War Memorial is a First World War memorial by Sir Edwin Lutyens in the village of Mells in the Mendip Hills of Somerset, south-western England. Unveiled in 1921, the memorial is one of multiple buildings and structures Lutyens designed in Mells. His friendship with two prominent families in the area, the Horners and the Asquiths, led to a series of commissions; among his other works in the village are memorials to two sons—one from each family—killed in the war. Lutyens toured the village with local dignitaries in search of a suitable site for the war memorial, after which he was prompted to remark "all their young men were killed".

  • 梅尔斯战争纪念碑(英語:Mells War Memorial)位于西南英格兰萨默塞特郡民政教区,于1921年揭幕,是埃德温·鲁琴斯爵士设计的,也是他在梅尔斯设计的多幢建筑之一。鲁琴斯与当地霍纳氏和阿斯奎斯氏两大望族关系密切,所以多次获聘设计建筑,两大家族都有子嗣在战争中牺牲,两人的纪念碑均由鲁琴斯操刀。战争纪念碑旨在纪念村里“所有献出生命的青年一代”,建筑师同当地权贵一起在村内寻找合适的立碑地点。 纪念碑主体是大理石柱和上方的圣乔治屠龙塑像,鲁琴斯还曾在另外两个公共战争纪念碑采用类似设计。石柱基座刻有英国桂冠诗人创作的诗和梅尔斯战争往生者的姓名,两边是用当地采石场原料修筑的石墙,上面有紫杉树篱。石墙上后来新增圆形牌匾,刻有第二次世界大战期间牺牲的村民姓名。1921年6月25日,准将为纪念碑揭幕,他哥哥的名字就刻在基座上。梅尔斯战争纪念碑是II*级登录建筑,也是鲁琴斯战争纪念建筑“国家收藏”的一分子。从2015年开始,鲁琴斯设计的所有英格兰纪念建筑都已列入国家遗产保护。 (zh)
