The Wordsley War Memorial is located just off the High Street in Wordsley, at the start of the access drive to Holy Trinity Church. Plaques record the names of all those from Wordsley who died in both World Wars.
124 names are commemorated of those who lost their lives in the First World War, and 43 names are commemorated of those who lost their lives in the Second World War. In 2006 a further name was added, that of Private Joseph Bateman who was shot at dawn on the 3rd December 1917 for desertion.
The Stourbridge website provides a transcription of all the names on the memorial.
