The First World War Memorial for Spalding is a reredos in the Chapel of St. George, in the parish church of St. Mary and St. Nicholas. There are three panels in the reredos, with the central panel depicting a painted calvary scene of Christ crucified with three figures below. The calvary scene is painted with a gold painted background. The left and the the right panels commemorate 247 names of those who gave their ives in the First World War.
