This war memorial was unveiled by Mr. W. J. Orr, and dedicated by the Bishop of Burnley, Dr. Henry Henn on 18 November 1920.

The memorial lists 214 names in total of men who served and who fell in World War 1. There are a further 12 names of men who fell in World War 2 over 4 columns - this panel has been added later and the inscription is much smaller than the other names in order to fit. The central panel contains the names of 29 soldiers who fell over two columns. The left and right panels contain the names 185 men who served in the war over three columns each; the left has 93 names while the right has 92 names. Names are listed by initial (in some cases forename) then surname. The names are roughly sorted by surname, but many are out of alphabetical order. See also the news article below dated 19 November 1920 for a full description.
