The memorial, in the form of a calvary, stands in the angle between the chancel and north transept of the church of St John the Evangelist, and faces north.
It comprises the figure of the crucified Christ, carved in oak, on a teak cross surmounted by a timber canopy clad in shingles. It stands on a base of three York stone steps, set on a rough hewn rusticated stone plinth.
The upper stage is inscribed 'TO THE GLORY OF GOD/AND IN MEMORY OF/ THE MEN OF LITTLEWICK GREEN /WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES IN THE GREAT WAR, 1914-1919', followed below by the names of the Fallen above the inscription 'Requiescant in Pace'. The lower stage is inscribed 'Ye that live on 'mid English pastures green/Remember us, and think what might have been.'
A later inscription on the west face commemorates by name those from Littlewick Green who lost their lives during the Second World War, 1939-1945.
