Description
The Necton War Memorial is situated in the churchyard extension of the Church of All Saints, which is a Grade I-listed building.

This inscription continues on the plinth below, which reads "IN HONOUR OF THE MEN OF NECTON/ WHO FELL IN THE GREAT WAR 1914-1918/ (NAMES)/ 1939-1945/ (NAMES)." Additionally, the plaque at the foot of the memorial bears the inscription "NECTON/ ROYAL BRITISH LEGION/ 2000/ WE WILL REMEMBER/ THEM."
