Willenhall War Memorial, including obelisk and associated First World War stone panels and plaques, Second World War stone panels and plaques, and plaques dedicated to the Boer War.

Willenhall War Memorial stands within a small garden on the corner of Stafford Street and Field Street. It is constructed from Portland stone and bronze plaques.

The memorial comprises a tall central obelisk with a moulded foot, rising from a scotia surmounting a square plinth with a moulded foot. The whole stands upon a five-stepped square base. On the front (north face) of the plinth is a carved relief wreath with the dates 1914/1919 at its centre.

Flanking the obelisk to either side are four sets of stone panels with bronze plaques affixed to their front faces. The two panels closest to the obelisk commemorate the Second World War. These are set at an angle to the rear corners of the base and feature a moulded cap and foot atop a rectangular block with a single-step base. Each bronze plaque reads WILLENHALL/ 1939 – 1945 with the names beneath. In front of each panel, adjoining the base, is a small wedge-shaped stone bearing a granite plaque with the incised inscription CIVILIANS KILLED/ BY ENEMY ACTION and the names beneath. The east panel carries an additional bronze plaque on its base commemorating the Northern Ireland conflict, reading ACTIVE SERVICE BELFAST/ (NAME).

The two remaining panels flanking the obelisk commemorate the First World War fallen. They are larger than the Second World War panels but of the same form, with moulded cap and foot atop a rectangular block with a single-step base. Each bronze plaque reads WILLENHALL/ 1914 – 1918 with the names beneath. The stone blocks below the plaques bear inscriptions in relief: the east panel reads HONOUR TO THE MORTAL DEAD and the west panel reads THEIR NAMES LIVE FOR EVERMORE.

To the rear of the obelisk is a section of regular, coursed stone wall projecting forward at either end. Two bronze plaques commemorating the Boer War fallen are affixed to this wall. The eastern plaque has an inset fielded panel with shield designs at the top corners. Its inscription reads THESE PIERS & GATES/ ARE ERECTED BY/ PUBLIC SUBSCRIPTION/ IN HONOUR OF/ THE MEN OF THIS TOWN/ WHO SERVED IN THE/ SOUTH AFRICAN WAR/ 1899 – 1902/ AND IN GRATEFUL/ MEMORY OF THE MEN/ WHOSE NAMES ARE RECORDED/ ON THE OPPOSITE PIER/ WHO DIED DURING/ THE CAMPAIGN. Above the panel are the words THESE TABLETS WERE UNVEILED with the date SEPTEMBER 1965 at the bottom of the frame. The western plaque has an inset panel inscribed WILLENHALL MEN WHO DIED IN THE/ SOUTH AFRICAN WAR 1899 – 1902, followed by the names of those who died, grouped by regiment. Above this panel are the words THESE TABLETS WERE UNVEILED. Between the two plaques is a smaller plaque explaining that the bronze plaques were removed from Wood Street Cemetery and re-erected on this site in 1964.

The memorial sits within a small garden with walkways and planting to the rear. The garden is enclosed by decorative metal railings to the north and east boundary, with a pair of entrance gates to the east. Within the garden are benches and modern litter bins. These latter features are not listed as being of special architectural or historic interest.
