DESCRIPTION: the memorial stands in a prominent roadside position within a small hedged enclosure on the north side of the village green and to the north-west of the Church of St Mary (Grade I).
It comprises a tall obelisk which tapers in octagonal section from a deep, square pedestal standing on a substantial octagonal plinth. The whole stands on a three-stepped base which is curved at the front (south side). Carved in shallow relief on the front (south) of the base of the pedestal is the Emblem on Victory (a wreath with crossed swords) along with the words: 'THE / WAR / 1914 / 1918'. The dedicatory inscription is inscribed on the north, east and west faces of the pedestal and reads 'TO THE / GLORY / OF / GOD / IN MEMORY OF / THE MEN OF / HAWKEDON / 'GREATER LOVE / HATH / NO MAN'. The names of the nine men who died are inscribed on the eight faces of the octagonal plinth.
