Farley Chamberlayne Avenue of Limes war memorial is located on the approach road to St John’s Church in Farley Chamberlayne, Romsey, Hampshire. This war memorial is in te form of an avenue of lime trees and a bronze plaque. The memorial commemorates those involved in World War I.
In 2015, a grant of £3,240 was awarded through the War Memorials Trust Grants Scheme towards tree surgery work including lifting and cleaning the crowns of the lime trees to remove deadwood to reduce the risk of wind damage, infestation and die back. 
The lime avenue was planted with assistance by Mr Blake, a Forester from the Hursley Estate on 12th November 1922. The inscription in raised letters reads:
"Farley Chamberlayne road of remembrance planted 12th November 1922"
