The War Memorial of Geddington, Norhamptonshire, lies in the grounds of the Church of St Mary Magdalene which stands near to the Eleanor Cross.
The Memorial is a simple cross on a tapered stone pedestal standing on a plinth.
Unusually the names of the war dead are not engraved on the Memorial but rather are set into the wall of the church. 1914-1918 names in middle plaque, 1939-1945 on lower. The upper panel contains names for both wars of men from Newton Parish.
There are also two Commonwealth War Graves in the churchyard.
Driver Charles Townley, Royal Field Artillery, 9/11/1918. Aged 24.
Aircraftman J W Green, RAF, 15/9/1940. Age 32.
