Talk:Northampton War Memorial

Height of stone
The article states, in the section "Design", that the Stone of Remembrance is 12 ft (3.7 m.) tall. That can't be right! It might be 12 ft long, but according to Stone of Remembrance, all Lutyens' Stones of Remembrance are 3.5 m. long by 1.5 m. high. (or is that a rough conversion from 12 x 5 ft.?) Or is it the obelisks that are 12 ft tall, perhaps? (they look taller). I can't find any confirmation in a quick online search, so clarification is needed. —S MALL JIM   12:36, 10 December 2016 (UTC)
 * I checked the source (Ridley), and the stone is 12 feet long (3.5m is 11.48ft so I suspect someone's rounded the figures somewhere; Lutyens did everything in feet and inches and was slightly obsessive about the exact dimensions of the Stone of Remembrance).

 * Thanks, HJ. I've tweaked Stone of Remembrance to note the feet/metres discrepancy. —S MALL  JIM   12:48, 11 December 2016 (UTC)

Paint
Anybody know how often the paint of the flags gets refreshed? Abductive (reasoning) 00:47, 11 November 2019 (UTC)

Possible new lead photo
Wiki Loves Monuments is running, and someone submitted a photo of the war memorial. I thought I'd leave a note here in case anyone wants to use the newer photo as it's sharper than the current lead image. Richard Nevell (WMUK) (talk) 14:06, 5 September 2022 (UTC)
