Designed Giles Gilbert Scott who also designed The Cenotaph on Whitehall in London.
Not to mention Battersea Power Station and the Anglican Catherdal, Liverpool
He also designed the red post box. See:-

wonder wether those two ladies where broken hearted reading their loved ones names,the cenotaph must have been nearly new when this picture was taken
Just think of the many different fashions this cenotaph has seen walking past it over the years.
The Cenotaph was designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens.
Bob Sherunkel; Extract from list of his Works on website in my comment above:-
War memorial, All Saints' Church Wigan, Lancashire 1925
Ernest, i think Bob means The Cenotaph in Whitehall not this one.
Roy; Why didn`t he say so - I`m not a mind reader!
Taken at some time between the unveiling of the Memorial in October 1925 and the replacement of the stone tablets bearing the names of the 1800 fallen with cast bronze plaques in about 1930 (at a cost of £8 per plaque).
