The memorial, designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens, is today a grade II listed building.

His commission for Miserden's memorial appears to have come through local landowner Noel Wills for whom Lutyens carried out work at nearby Misarden Park after it was severely damaged by a fire in 1919.

It is a typical Lutyens War Cross with a tapering shaft and short arms, of limestone construction.

Unusually among war crosses, the names of the fallen are inscribed on the lowest section of the plinth in bronze lettering.

[1] From the markings "VH 1920" on the back, it is believed that Victor Hayward, the stonemason on the Misarden Park estate constructed the memorial.
