The war memorial consists of a memorial clock which is accompanied by two marble plaques within the church, one of which is a dedication to the men of Therfield who fought in World War I and the other of which lists the names of those who were killed in action.
In 2013 War Memorials Trust offered a grant of £1,607 towards necessary repairs to the clock face and dials. This involved re-painting them using a gold leaf and re-fixing the clock face which was coming away from the tower. Finally, SmartWater solution was applied to the memorial clock.
The memorial was erected in 1919, designed by clockmaker Mr Potts of Leeds and was unveiled on 08th February 1920 by Revd H R Humphrey.
