Reasons for listing from Historic England website: Historic interest: * it is an eloquent witness to the tragic impact of world events on the local community, and the sacrifice it made in the conflicts of the C20; * it is associated with two other memorials in Little Downham created to commemorate the fallen from the First World War: the clubroom and the memorial window in the Church of St Leonard. Architectural interest: * it is in the form of a well-detailed wheel-head cross, one of the classic designs used for First World War memorials. Group value: * the war memorial holds a strong historic and functional group value with the parish church of St Leonard (Grade I) and two headstones (Grade II) all of which serve as memorials commemorating people who once lived in the community
