Northampton contains several significant war memorials. The [[Northampton War Memorial|Town and County War Memorial]], unveiled in 1926, commemorates casualties of the First World War from all of Northamptonshire; it replaced a temporary cenotaph which stood in Abington Square from 1919. Designed by [[Edwin Lutyens|Sir Edwin Lutyens]], it consists of two large obelisks and an altar-like stone sited in a small garden behind All Saints' Church. The Town and County memorial is a grade I listed building and part of a national collection of Lutyens' war memorials.<ref>{{National Heritage List for England |num=1191327 |desc=The Town and County War Memorial |access-date=31 January 2016}}</ref> As the Town and County memorial does not contain a list of names of the fallen, the [[Royal British Legion]] launched a campaign which resulted in the construction of a second memorial, dedicated solely to the town; this memorial, in Abington Square, takes the form of a garden of remembrance with the names of the dead inscribed on the garden walls. A bust of [[Edgar Mobbs]] was later moved into the garden; Mobbs was a rugby player for Northampton Saints who was killed while serving in the First World War.<ref>{{cite book |last=Sawford |first=Philip |title=Northampton: Remembering 1914–18 |publisher=[[The History Press]] |year=2015 |isbn=978-0-7509-6154-7 |location=[[Stroud, Gloucestershire]] |page=136}}</ref> A memorial to [[Nobel Prize]] winner [[Francis Crick]], who was born in Northampton, was installed on Abington street in 2005.
