First World War memorial, 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 northern side of the memorial, which faces the road, has an inscription in lead lettering on the plinth in a slightly recessed panel. The dedication reads IN MEMORY OF/ THE MEN FROM THIS PARISH/ WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES IN THE/ GREAT WAR 1914-1919/ (9 NAMES).
Tathwell War Memorial was unveiled on 12 February 1921, commemorating 9 local servicemen who died during the First World War. It was constructed by Messrs Mawer Bros of Louth. The dedication and unveiling ceremony began with a service in St Vedast’s Church. At the unveiling ceremony Colonel Edward Kyme Bordeaux CBE DL JP of Brackenborough Lawn near Louth, who commanded the 10th Battalion Lincolnshire Regiment during the First World War, gave a speech.
Tathwell War Memorial, which stands at the junction of New Lane and Thackers Lane, is listed at Grade II for the following principal reasons:
* Historic interest: as an eloquent witness to the tragic impact of world events on this local community, and the sacrifice it has made in the First World War;
* Degree of survival: unusually the memorial has not been adapted for Second World War commemoration, and thus retains its original design intent.
