The war memorial in St Mary's Church remembers the Fallen of Ixworth. The celtic cross stands on a plinth atop a three stepped base. It is surrounded by a low chain fence.
In 2003 £200 was offered to a project to repoint and clean the war memorial alongside repairs being made to the fence.
The memorial was dedicated on 20 December 1919 by Canon R F Wilson and unveiled during the service by Colonel Parry Crooke. The memorial was re-dedicated on 31 October 1948.
The inscription on the memorial reads
To the
greater Glory of God
and in memory of
the Men of this Parish
who laid down their lives
in the Great War

"The men were very good unto us, and
We were not hurt... They were a wall
Unto us both by night and day"
Samuel XXV, 15 And 16
