The Cenotaph in Hucknall is located in Titchfield Park, off Park Drive.

The names of 288 men who fell in the First World War are commemorated on eight plaques fixed to the pillars at each corner of the memorial square. 162 names of those who fell in the Second World War were subsequently commemorated on a plaque on the actual Cenotaph. A new plaque also fixed to the Cenotaph lists the names of a further 102 local men who fell in the First World War who were missed off the original commemoration.
