Caythorpe War Memorial is a Grade II listed structure, achieving the status on 17 October 2016.
The memorial was unveiled on 10 October 1920. It is modeled on Sir Reginald Blomfield’s Cross of Sacrifice and was supplied by Messrs HT Jenkins & Sons, marble merchants of Torquay, at a cost of £240. The unveiling ceremony followed a service in St Vincent conducted by Reverend Frederick Markland Percy Sherrifs BA. The memorial was unveiled by Lieutenant-Colonel Edmund Royds MP, of Stubton Hall near Newark. The Last Post was played by two buglers from RAF Cranwell. The names of 23 who died in the First World War are inscribed on a tablet on the curved wall behind the memorial. After the Second World War an additional tablet was added to the memorial recording four names. Two further tablets were added for those who died in Iraq in 2003 and 2005.
To the left is a stone from the Falklands which carries two names on it of the fallen from that conflict.
