Worlington's First World War white marble obelisk memorial records the names of the fallen. It is located outside the Church in the village.
The war memorial required conservation work to repair a crack at the top of the memorial, cleaning and the names of 2 men from the village who died in World War II were added. The surrounding railings also needed repainting. War Memorials Trust donated £250.00 towards the work.
The memorial was unveiled on 4th March 1920 by Major-General The Hon J E Lindley. It had cost £150 1S to erect and was built by Messrs H G Neville and Son.
The inscription on the memorial reads:
In abiding memory

this village
who served in the
Great War
1914 - 1919
