The Muggleswick village war memorial stands in the churchyard of All Saints parish church, Muggleswick, County Durham. It is a Celtic cross with a tapering shaft on a plinth, itself set on a base, and within a square stone kerb.
In February 2007 War Memorials Trust gave £145 towards work to clean the memorial, replace lost letters and to repaint the remaining letters.
The memorial was erected by parishioners and friends following World War I. A further name was added after the end of the World War II.
The inscription reads:
In grateful memory of
Soldiers from this Parish
who gave thier lives for
God, King and Country
in the World War.
1914 - 1918.
Erected by Parishioners and Friends.
"The memory of their sacrifice is dear to us."
