The Ault Hucknall War Memorial stands on a small green at the junction of Mill Lane and Hodmire Lane.
Approximately 3 metres in height, the memorial is built of Stancliffe stone from Darley Dale and consists of an obelisk rising from the shallow cornice of a square plinth. The plinth stands on a square, three-stepped, base. Inscriptions on the obelisk read:
THE GLORIOUS DEAD 1914 – 1918 (south face) and
THE GLORIOUS DEAD 1939 – 1945 (east face)
The south face of the plinth bears the dedicatory inscriptions:
ERECTED IN GRATEFUL AND LOVING MEMORY
TO THE BRAVE MEN OF AULT HUCKNALL
WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES IN THE GREAT WAR
And the north face reads: THEIR NAMES SHALL ENDURE FOR EVER
(
SK4565 : Ault Hucknall War Memorial, Inscriptions on South Face).
The area around the memorial was previously railed (see
SK4565 : Ault Hucknall: The War Memorial taken by Nigel Cox in 2010) but is now gravelled and now enclosed by a chain suspended from nine timber posts.
The memorial is Grade II-listed (Historic England List Entry Number: 1429138
