Harden war memorial is located at the corner of Harden Road and Wilsden Road in Harden, West Yorkshire. It is in the form of a sandstone Tuscan column with a small cross on top, on a two-stepped hexagonal base plinth, within a walled, flagged enclosure with stone ball finial capped stone entrance gate piers. The incised inscription on the plinth commemorates those who died in World War I and II. It is a Grade II listed structure.
In 2017 a grant of £2,980 was awarded through War Memorials Trust Grants Scheme towards steam cleaning to make the inscription more legible, lime mortar pointing, repairs to some stone flags and reinstatement of the ball finials to the gate piers.
The memorial was unveiled on 9th October 1920 by Brig Gen Sir George Armytage and dedicated by Rev R. Garrad, vicar of Bingley.
