The war memorial in the Buckinghamshire village of Penn, in the Chiltern Hills, is a sandstone cross on a slim pillar which has a moulded top and base. The pillar stands on a plinth and a three-stepped octagonal base on a stone kerb. The memorial stands on Church Road outside the churchyard.
In 2006/7 English Heritage and the Wolfson Foundation offered a grant of £510 towards work to clean the stone, apply a bio-inhibitor, to lift and pin the broken kerb, prepare the ground for relaying and then re-lay the kerb.
The memorial was unveiled on 10th April 1921 by Field Marshal Sir William R Robertson and dedicated by the Bishop Suffragan of Buckingham.
