This war memorial consists of a granite wheel cross with a tapering column with a floriated design in relief. The plinth and base have trefoil designs carved onto each face and the lower plinth and base have a rough-hewn finish. The names of the fallen from Turvey are listed on the plinth and base in lead and painted black. The war memorial is surrounded by a low chain-link fence and stands in front of All Saints Church, Turvey.
In 2013 War Memorials Trust offered a grant of £720 towards cleaning of the war memorial using non-metallic bristle brushes and water and re-pointing the joints using lime mortar, colour matched to the stonework.
It was unveiled & dedicated on 28th December 1919.
