Very nice piece. Just some minor points from me:

Should 'War Crosses' be capitalised?
'It became a listed building': The church, churchyard or cross? I presume the latter, but the other two are recently referred to in the text too
"Lutyens's association with Busbridge": could just go with 'it' here, instead of Busbridge
"The monument stands in the graveyard of St John's Church in Busbridge, where Lutyens also designed a chancel screen—the same churchyard as the war memorial": this needs a bit of a tweak, unless the chancel screen stands in the graveyard, which is what it says at the moment.

That's my lot - please ping me when you go to FAC. Cheers - SchroCat (talk) 08:10, 8 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
