Whaplode St Catherine war memorial was originally located at the former Methodist chapel (see PRN 27285). It was an arched gateway to the chapel entrance with the memorial tablets inset into the two brick pillars surmounted by a Portland stone arch bearing the dates 1914-1918. It was built to honour the fallen from the First World War. It was unveiled in 1921, and was moved to its current location the Village Hall (named the Whaplode St Catherine Memorial Hall) in 1995 when the chapel was demolished. The memorial is now a brickwork panel in front of the Hall with the two stone tablets bearing the names of the fallen built into the brickwork. The names of those who died in the Second World War are also listed. {1}
