The Wooburn War Memorial is a 1920 memorial designed by stonemasons Messrs G Maile & Son Ltd. It is a roughly-hewn granite obelisk approximately 5 metres high, set upon a square plinth and stepped base.

The stone pillar is inscribed with the words "PARISH OF WOOBURN/ROLL OF HONOUR/IN GRATEFUL MEMORY OF/THE MEN WHO FOUGHT AND DIED/FOR ENGLAND'S HONOUR/IN THE WARS 1914-1919/1939-1945".
