The First World War memorial is a wall-mounted wooden tablet in black and gold at the west end of the nave. At the top is a Crucifixion with two mourners. The Memorial is 49½" high by 44" wide and bears 111 names.

2 names on the memorial are those of brother Officers who served in the Yorkshire Regiment.

We are extremely grateful to the Southwell and Nottingham Church History Project for permission to use the photographs of the memorial and the church.
