The First World War Memorial inside the Church of St. Mary the Virgin, East Haddon, is a tablet which commemorates the names of 65 men who lost their lives in the First World War.
Outside the church, in the churchyard, is a War Memorial in the form of a Cross. This memorial bears no names, with these being commemorated in the church instead.

1 soldier of the Yorkshire Regiment is commemorated on the memorial.
