The memorial consist of a granite cross elevated on a three stepped base with has a leaded lettered inscription.
In 2014 War Memorials Trust offered a grant of £560 for repair and conservation work. Biological growth and soiling along with defective paint of the lead lettering was making the inscription difficult to read. To address this problem the 
memorial was stream cleaned and the lead lettering was re-painted.
The Burton Fleming war memorial was erected on the Village Church Green as a lasting memorial to the four men from the village who lost their lives fighting for this country during First World and the subsequent four men who lost their lives in the Second World War.
The inscriptions on the memorial read:
