The war memorial at Tathwell commemorates those who perished in the First World War, having been dedicated in 1921. Standing on the junction of New Lane and Thackers Lane, the memorial is a simple Latin cross of grey granite, supplied by Messrs Mawer Bros of Louth. {1} Tathwell War Memorial was unveiled on 12 February 1921. The war memorial is located by the roadside at the entrance to the village and stands within a square area enclosed by low white-painted railings. It is of rough-hewn grey granite. A block of granite forms a tapering plinth, from which rises a plain Latin cross. The memorial commemorates 9 local servicemen who died during the First World War. Unusually the memorial has not been adapted for Second World War commemoration, and thus retains its original design intent.
