A memorial to the men of Nether and Upper Heyford who fell in the First World War was under discussion in May 1919. Designed by Messrs J G Pullen and Sons, it was unveiled in February 1921 by Lieutenant Colonel J C Livingstone Learmouth, the service being conducted by Reverend Henry Isham Longden.
Nether Heyford’s war memorial, on the edge of The Green, is listed at Grade II for the following reasons:
* Historic interest: as an eloquent witness to the tragic impact of world events on the local community, and the sacrifice it made in the conflicts of the C20;
* Design: a well-executed Celtic cross.
