Tattershall Thorpe war memorial is the entrance archway at the Wesleyan chapel. The lancet arch, unveiled in 1922, was constructed out of red brick, with stone dressings, to match the chapel. The work was completed by Messrs J. Saxby and Son of Tattershall Bridge to honour the First World War dead from the village. It was later used to commemorate the Second World War fallen. {2}
