Arlecdon war memorial takes the form of a Celtic cross with Celtic designs upon the shaft. It is sited in the churchyard of St Michael's (postcode CA26 3UB). The memorial is grade II listed.
In 2002, a Small Grants Scheme award of £250 supported repairs to the damaged cross. Storm damage had affected the three upper sections of the memorial. They were removed so a new central dowel could be inserted into the structure. The sections were then replaced.
The memorial was unveiled on 22nd September 1922. It carried an inscription and names from World War I. World War II names were added after that conflict around the base and in 1967 a further single name was added.
