The chapel was selected to be the location for Alvingham's war memorial. The memorial takes the form of an ornate marble tablet, fixed to the building's western external gable wall. The memorial was unveiled in 1921 in order to commemorate the eighteen members of the local community who died in the First World War. {5}
